Oaktree Capital, through LoneStar Airport Holdings, holds a 40-year lease to operate the South Terminal at ABIA in Austin, Texas.
The South Terminal is an existing, three-gate, single-storey terminal located on the south end of the airport that was restored for commercial use in 2017.
A source told the publication that an equity injection will accelerate the terminal’s expansion beyond the three gates it currently operates.
In 2016 and 2017, LoneStar Airport Holdings invested nearly $12m to rehabilitate the South Terminal and its support infrastructure.
