Bring on the world. Bring on the future.

New Zealand thrives on connection, and Auckland Airport (AKL) is where many of those connections begin. As the gateway to our country and our largest city and the first welcome for many, we’re not just upgrading an airport. We’re investing in a future-ready Aotearoa New Zealand.

Right now, we’re undertaking the most ambitious transformation in our history. Projects across terminals, the airfield, and transport networks are coming together to create a smoother, more seamless experience for travellers and traders. With development planned through to 2032, the vision is for a seamless airport experience for national and international travellers, together with a robust and resilient infrastructure serving our nation for decades to come.

This is a bold step forward that honours the whenua (the land) of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. It reflects the pride, purpose and progress of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Thank you for your patience as we reimagine our journey. Explore our transformation and see how we’re preparing for the future.

The big picture

Auckland Airport is more than a travel hub. It plays a vital role in New Zealand’s economy, helping drive growth through business, tourism and trade. It’s a key connection point for travellers and a place of business and industry that supports over 20,000 jobs.

AKL projects

Auckland Airport’s upgrade includes individual projects across terminals, the airfield, and transport network. Together, they’re reshaping the airport experience for customers and strengthening New Zealand’s connection to the world.
