Auckland Airport to begin work on new Airport Transport Hub in June

Auckland International Airport in New Zealand plans to begin enabling works next month for the Auckland Airport Transport Hub, which will be built in front of the international terminal. The project entails an investment of more than $187m and is expected to transform the way passengers arrive and depart from the main airport terminal. It will also serve as a major step in the delivery of the future combined domestic and international terminal. Auckland International Airport CEO Carrie Hurihanganui said: “At Auckland Airport we are starting a new chapter of infrastructure investment that is all about building a better future for travellers from the moment they step foot on our precinct. With every project, we are focused on providing a high-quality customer experience that equals some of the best airports in the world. Easy and intuitive journeys are an important part of this and we’re excited about the benefits that the Transport Hub will bring. It will place existing and future public transport at the heart of Auckland Airport and create a seamless arrival and departure experience for passengers, with a direct connection to the combined international and domestic terminal.” The Transport Hub will be a four-storey structure built on the footprint of the main international carpark. It has been designed to facilitate traffic movements through its ground floor.<br/>
