Auckland Airport is the gateway to New Zealand, welcoming travellers beginning their journeys, farewelling Kiwis to new destinations, and connecting businesses to new opportunities.
From humble beginnings in 1966, Auckland Airport has grown into one of the largest international airports in Australasia. More than three-quarters of international visitors to New Zealand touch down in Auckland, with 18.5 million travellers currently arriving each year into Auckland Airport.
Auckland Airport is a key contributor to the country’s economy, supporting $35.1 billion in economic output and 25,000 jobs across the precinct. Around $27.2 billion of air freight flies in and out of Auckland annually, making it New Zealand’s third largest cargo port by value behind the Ports of Auckland and Tauranga.
That means every international flight brings is worth around $1.4 million in tourism and trade value for New Zealand.
Today we are transforming Auckland Airport into a world-class travel experience. Not just a place where people go from A to B, but a place where the journey brings as much enjoyment as the destination.

A key economic driver for the South Island, the airport underpins a $5.8 billion visitor economy, generating 62,000 jobs annually. It also facilitates international air freight, connecting the region’s premium exports to global markets.
Committed to delivering world-class service, Christchurch Airport has made recent significant investments in infrastructure, hospitality, and sustainability.
