Airport expansion backed by a sovereign guarantee

A combination of sovereign guarantee and secured investor capital funds airport capacity expansion and new aircraft leasing.

Airport expansion: South America

Project background

The government is expanding its international airport to support rapidly growing aviation and tourism sectors: more space, additional gates, an enhanced retail offer, an executive lounge and a potential runway extension for larger aircraft. The strategy positions the airport as a major regional hub, and Resourceful Solutions PTE LTD was engaged to secure the optimal funding structure.

The structure

The funding combines secured investor capital with a sovereign guarantee. Investors deposit from USD 75 million into a custodial account at their own bank; where needed, we assist in opening an account with a reputable international bank after successful compliance checks.

  • The principal remains untouched in the investor’s own bank account
  • An additional sovereign guarantee further secures the capital
  • Fixed annual return of 15 percent plus participation in the airport project and an agreed lump-sum interest payment at the end of year five
  • No requirement for the airport to repay the principal, keeping long-term liabilities low

Why it works

The structure delivers reliable cash flows for operations and debt servicing within the first year, with the initial distribution made just 50 days after the investor signs the agreement. The project owner receives its financing within two years, and the country grows critical infrastructure without increasing its debt levels.

The figures presented are projected targets based on the planned execution of the project and are subject to change based on operational, market and regulatory conditions.
