With shares in American Insurance Group (AIG) dropping more than 75 percent over the last two days, pressure is mounting on the insurance giant to do something—anything—to shore up its value.

One proposal gaining traction is to sell off the company’s aircraft leasing unit, International Lease Finance Corp. (ILFC), which has managed to sustain profitability and insulate itself from much of the surrounding financial turmoil. A sale of ILFC would provide an infusion of cash into a company with a spiraling debt load. Yesterday two major credit agencies downgraded their rating on AIG, prompting the current crisis.

ILFC currently leases out 947 aircraft, with a combined worth of $55 billion, to individuals, corporations, and airlines. ILFC may be a particularly attractive acquisition given that over 90 percent of its revenues come from abroad, better insulating the company from American economic troubles.

Will any suitors come forward for ILFC and what would a collapse of AIG mean for the world of private aviation? Sound off in our comments.
