Pembroke Capital air leasing directors share €2.8m pay

High-flying directors at Irish-based aircraft leasing company Pembroke Capital last year shared a pay pot of $3.16m (€2.86m), or just under $632,000 each.

According to accounts just filed with the Companies Office by Pembroke Capital Ltd and subsidiaries, the five directors enjoyed the pay pot in spite of the firm plunging into the red.

The figures show that the firm — which is owned by Standard Chartered with its Irish offices located in Dublin and Limerick — recorded a pre-tax loss of $75m after recording a pre-tax profit of $90m in 2014.
