Koutalidis Law Firm advises Alpha Bank on the financing of a €806 million secured bond loan to Athens International Airport (AIA)

Koutalidis Law Firm is proud to have advised Alpha Bank on the financing of a €806 million secured bond loan issued by Athens International Airport — a landmark transaction that will fund the expansion of the largest and busiest airport of Greece, a critical hub serving millions of travelers each year.

This financing is not only transformative for Athens International Airport but also highlights the essential role of a Greek systemic bank in supporting large-scale, national infrastructure projects. Alpha Bank’s involvement showcases the strength and commitment of Greece’s financial sector in driving the country’s growth and expanding its global reach.

 

In parallel, Koutalidis Law Firm advised a syndicate of the four Greek systemic banks on the amendment and restatement of the four existing major bond loans issued by Athens International Airport and comprising the financing provided to AIA in 2019, 2022 and 2024.

 

Congratulations to all the dedicated teams who brought this project to life! Together, we’re investing in a brighter, more connected future for Greece and beyond. Our Project Finance team from our Banking and Finance Practice was led by Partner Dr. Ioannis Kaptanis and Senior Associate Dimitris Kalyvas, and included Associates Marina Angoura, Nike Konidaris, and Gerasimos Siokos.
