GE aircraft unit to buy helicopter lessor Milestone for $1.78 billion


    (Reuters) - General Electric Co's aircraft leasing unit said it would buy Dublin-based helicopter leasing company Milestone Aviation Group for $1.78 billion.

    "The addition of Milestone will deepen our domain expertise in aviation and oil and gas, two critical GE industries," GE Capital Chief Executive Keith Sherin said in a statement on Monday.

    The transaction is expected to close next year.
