Item 8.01  Other Events

On December 9, 2011, AeroTurbine, Inc. (“AeroTurbine”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of International Lease Finance Corporation (“ILFC”), amended and restated its existing senior secured revolving credit facility.  The amended and restated senior credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for a maximum aggregate available amount of $335 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base consisting of certain of AeroTurbine’s aircraft assets and accounts receivable.  AeroTurbine has the option to increase the aggregate amount available under the Credit Agreement by an additional $165 million, either by adding new lenders or enabling existing lenders to increase their commitments, but the existing lenders are not obligated to do so.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest determined, with certain exceptions, based on LIBOR plus 300 basis points.  AeroTurbine’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by ILFC and by all of AeroTurbine’s subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions) and are secured by substantially all of the assets of AeroTurbine and of such non-excluded subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and covenants, including certain financial covenants.  Upon entering into the Credit Agreement, AeroTurbine borrowed approximately $269 million of the initial aggregate available amount.
