Insights

$150M long-dated project financing at fixed 6% reshapes Sky Harbour’s debt stack.

Sky Harbour arranged $150 million of Series 2026 revenue bonds through a conduit issuer, with a fixed 6.000% coupon and mandatory tender on January 1, 2031. Although the legal maturity extends to July 1, 2060, the company must refinance or remarket by the tender date.

The bonds are secured by a loan to an indirect subsidiary and residual cash flows from specified projects, but are structurally subordinate to the Series 2021 bonds and borrowings under the Drawdown Note Facility. Guarantees from Sky Harbour LLC and Sky Harbour Holdings IV LLC link the credit to the operating platform.

Proceeds, alongside up to $200 million from the Drawdown Note Facility, will fund the 2026 aircraft storage projects, a debt service reserve, capitalized interest through January 1, 2029, and issuance costs. Actual leverage and coverage outcomes will depend on construction progress and cash generation from the financed facilities as they come online.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On February 12, 2026, Sky Harbour Capital III LLC (the “Borrower”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sky Harbour Group Corporation (the “Company”), completed a $150 million financing through the issuance of Revenue Bonds (Sky Harbour Capital III LLC Aviation Facilities Project), Series 2026 (the “Series 2026 Bonds”). The Series 2026 Bonds were issued by the Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin, a multi-jurisdictional conduit issuer (the “Issuer”), pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of January 1, 2026 (the “Indenture”) and effective as of February 12, 2026, between the Issuer and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Bond Trustee”). The proceeds of the Bonds were used to make a loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2026 (the “Loan Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Borrower, and assigned to the Bond Trustee. The Series 2026 Bonds were issued in a limited offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to a Limited Offering Memorandum dated January 29, 2026 (the “Limited Offering Memorandum”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The borrowings under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Sky Harbour LLC, the Company’s primary operating subsidiary (“Sky LLC”), and Sky Harbour Holdings IV LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Sky LLC (the “Pledgor”). Pursuant to the Indenture, all of the Issuer’s right, title, and interest in the Loan Agreement (except for certain unassigned rights) were assigned to the Bond Trustee. The Bonds are secured by the Loan Agreement and the residual cash flows of certain of the Company’s projects, and payment of the Bonds is structurally subordinate to the Issuer’s Senior Special Facility Revenue Bonds (Sky Harbour Capital LLC Aviation Facilities Project), Series 2021 (the “Series 2021 Bonds”) and borrowings under the Draw Down Note Facility (as defined below).
 
The Series 2026 Bonds and borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate of 6.000% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2026. The Series 2026 Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on January 1, 2031 (the “Mandatory Tender Date”), and will mature on July 1, 2060, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed or repurchased. On the Mandatory Tender Date, holders will be required to tender their Bonds for purchase at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. Following such mandatory tender, the Bonds may be remarketed at a new interest rate or otherwise refinanced. Accordingly, although the Series 2026 Bonds have a stated final maturity of July 1, 2060, the Borrower will be required to refinance or remarket the Series 2026 Bonds on or prior to January 1, 2031.
 
 

 
The principal amount of the Loan is $150 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Loan, together with other available funds, including draws from the Company’s existing term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million (the “Drawdown Note Facility”), to (i) finance or refinance, directly or indirectly, all or a portion of the construction, equipping and/or improvement of all or a portion of certain aircraft storage facilities (collectively, the “2026 Projects”); (ii) fund a deposit to the debt service reserve fund for the Series 2026 Bonds; (iii) pay capitalized interest on the Loan; and (iv) pay the costs of issuance of the Series 2026 Bonds and entry into the Loan Agreement.
 
The Series 2026 Bonds are subject to (a) optional redemption at the discretion of the Borrower at any time on or after January 1, 2030 at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, (b) mandatory redemption upon the occurrence of a determination of taxability of the Series 2026 Bonds, and (c) mandatory sinking fund redemption beginning in 2056.
 
The Borrower expects to meet its payment obligations under the Loan Agreement from funds to the extent available and permitted to be released under the master trust indenture with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds and the Drawdown Note Agreement. Interest is capitalized through January 1, 2029.
 
The Indenture and the Loan Agreement provide for customary events of default, all as described in the Indenture and the Loan Agreement.
