By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., May 8 - AerCap Ireland Capital Ltd. and AerCap Global Aviation Trust priced a $2.6 billion three-part offering of non-callable senior notes (Ba2/BB+/BB+) on Thursday, according to a syndicate source.

The deal included a $400 million tranche of three-year notes that priced at par to yield 2¾%, at the tight end of the 2¾% to 3% yield talk.

In addition AerCap priced a $1.1 billion tranche of five-year notes at par to yield 3¾%, at the tight end of the 3¾% to 4% yield talk.

The longest duration bond came in a $1.1 billion tranche of seven-year notes, which priced at par to yield 4½%, at the tight end of the 4½% to 4¾% yield talk.

Joint physical bookrunner UBS Securities LLC will bill and deliver. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. was also a joint physical bookrunner.
