Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG.AU) is part of a consortium in the final round of bidding for Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC's (RBS.LN) US$6 billion aircraft leasing unit, The Australian Financial Review reported Tuesday, without saying where it got the information.

Purchasing the RBS fleet of more than 200 planes would see Macquarie become the world's third-largest aircraft lessor behind General Electric Co. (GE) and American International Group Inc. (AIG)," the newspaper reported.

China Development Bank, Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) and Sumitomo Corp. (8053.TO) are also said to be through to the final round, the newspaper reported.

Goldman Sachs may steer a fourth round of negotiations with two final parties and bids are said to have come in towards the lower end of a $US6 billion to $US8 billion range, the newspaper said.
