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.
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. With $5.7 billion of aeronautical development planned through to 2032, the vision is for a much-improved airport experience for everyone who travels through AKL or works here, together with 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 New Zealand.
Thank you for your patience as we reimagine our journey.

Planning your journey to AKL
Auckland Airport operates one of the city’s busiest roading networks to support the journeys of more than 18 million travellers each year through the domestic and international terminals.
There is ongoing planning and investment in the network to make the airport trip smoother, and to keep people safe during the different phases of construction. This page will be updated with information about upgrades to the roading network and any changes to parking or transport that may affect your journey to and from the airport.
You’ll find everything you need to know right here. If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Walk our new ‘Green Line’ between terminals
Stretch your legs and get some fresh air by following our new green line walkway between terminals. We’ve changed the route to keep travellers safe and to make way for construction bringing together domestic jet and international travel.
The walkway is well marked with improved shade and shelter, and, in most places, follows a green line on the footpath. The new route takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your walking speed.

Celebrating walks of New Zealand
We have teamed up with the Department of Conservation (DOC) to showcase Aotearoa New Zealand’s beautiful walks along the new green line walkway.
Displaying some of New Zealand’s most stunning scenery, there are many DOC tracks and locations celebrated along the green line with giant panoramic photos, featuring multi-day walks along the golden bays of the Abel Tasman and through the forests of the Paparoa Track on the West Coast. There are also single-day walks including the Rangitoto Summit Track in Auckland and the Kauaeranga Kauri Trail in the Coromandel.
