A&O Shearman advises joint lead managers on Brisbane Airport’s inaugural EUR500 million Eurobond issuance

A&O Shearman advised a group of global financial institutions as joint lead managers on the transaction.

This marks Brisbane Airport’s debut in the Eurobond market, further demonstrating strong international investor appetite for debt issued by high-quality Australian infrastructure assets.

As longstanding advisors on the programme since its establishment in 2015, A&O Shearman reinforced its leading position in the sector by guiding the joint lead managers on the structuring and execution of this high-profile issuance.

“This landmark transaction demonstrates Brisbane Airport’s appeal to offshore capital and highlights our strength in navigating novel Euromarket opportunities for Australian issuers,” said Minesh Patel, partner at A&O Shearman. “It supports Brisbane Airport’s ambitious investment programme ahead of the Brisbane Olympics and beyond—driving sustainable growth and long-lasting benefits for the region.”

The A&O Shearman team was led by partner Minesh Patel, supported by senior associate Yin Lim and lawyer Melanie Campisi, with partner Aloysius Tan in Singapore advising on SGX listing matters.

This deal builds on A&O Shearman’s recent mandates advising the joint lead managers on international debt capital markets transactions for Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport, underscoring the firm’s unmatched expertise in complex cross-border secured financings for major Australian airports.
