Auckland Airport
From the arrival of the Tainui Waka into the Manukau Harbour, Auckland Airport has always been a place of journeys.
We stand proudly as the gateway to Aotearoa, welcoming travellers beginning their journeys, farewelling Kiwis to new destinations, connecting businesses and workers to new opportunities, and celebrating partners and investors who back us along the way.
From our humble beginnings in 1966, Auckland Airport has grown into one of the largest international airports in Australasia, with more than 18.5million travellers a year.
AKL plays a significant role in supporting New Zealand businesses. Auckland Airport is New Zealand’s third largest port by cargo value handled, with $33.2 billion of exports and imports combined in a year. It’s also the second biggest employment hub outside the city central, with 25,000 workers and hundreds of businesses. The wider airport precinct features a world-class business park, commercial office buildings, transport and logistics warehouses, hotels and leisure and recreation facilities.
Today we are focused on transforming Auckland Airport for the future of travel, building the gateway the country needs. Construction of the new domestic jet terminal is underway, which will be integrated into the existing international terminal, opening at the end of the decade. Not just a place where people go from A to B, but a place where the journey brings as much enjoyment as the destination.
E mahi ana mātou mō Aotearoa. We are working for New Zealand.
