Air Lease Corp., or ALC, has secured $3.3 billion in financing and plans to buy more than 100 commercial planes by spring of next year. “ALC is committed to helping shape the future of the aviation industry,” Udvar-Hazy said in a statement. “We look forward to working with the leading global airlines as they modernize their fleets.”
