We forecast the number of daily trips to and from the airport will increase from 63,000 today to 140,000 in 2044. The majority of these trips today are in private cars.

Our 30 year vision includes a wide range of transport modes to provide Aucklanders and visitors with greater choice and flexibility around how they get to and from the airport.
