Leigh Fisher Associates is the industry leader in preparing independent financial studies that support the issuance of debt for airport purposes. We prepared the required financial feasibility studies that helped airport sponsors successfully issue more than $25 billion in airport revenue bonds in the United States, and we helped a number of international clients with airport-related financings outside the United States. These international financings included A$700 million in Perth, A$362 million in Adelaide, A$105 million in Coolangatta (all in Australia), and NZ$500 million in Auckland, New Zealand.

We work closely with airport management, investment bankers, underwriters, bond insurers, bond counsel, and other participants to prepare the required financing plans, forecasts of debt service coverage, and offering documents. Rating agency and other investment analysts rely heavily on our analyses of the key factors and assumptions underlying the forecast financial results in their assessments of the security of the bonds.
