Courpron Loses Top Slot at ILFC to Koellner

The latest personal scandal to shake the aerospace industry saw former Boeing International president Laurette Koellner unseat Henri Courpron as the seniormost executive officer at International Lease Finance Corp., parent company American International Group (AIG) announced Thursday evening. Koellner’s appointment to the newly created position of executive chairman of ILFC follows AIG’s review of an anonymous complaint alleging the existence of a personal relationship between Courpron and an ILFC employee under his supervision. Courpron and the employee each have acknowledged that they had engaged in a voluntary relationship that had ended.
