Auckland Airport in New Zealand is underway with its largest refurbishment since it opened in 1966, with a brand new domestic terminal to be fully integrated with the international terminal.
“This is a major investment for Auckland Airport that we have been working towards for many years,” the airport’s chairman Patrick Strange said in a statement on Friday.

The airport has been consulting with its major airline customers since May 2011 to replace the aging domestic terminal and plans to build an integrated terminal, Xinhua News Agency reports.
Over time, 21 concept designs were developed by Auckland Airport and discussed with major airlines.
Following an earlier decision in 2019, the Auckland Airport Board reiterated its commitment to integrating domestic and international travel and gave approval for the project to be part of a NZ$3.9 billion construction program to take place over the year , will enter the final phase of the design next five to six years.
The terminal integration program — a significant part of the airport’s broader 10-year capital program — will bring domestic travel and international travel together under one roof for the first time since 1977, through an expansion at the east end of the existing international terminal building.
Scheduled to open between 2028 and 2029, the combined terminal will serve international flights as well as the larger and more efficient domestic jets flying to and from Auckland to New Zealand’s other major hubs.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, 62 percent of all domestic passengers in New Zealand passed through Auckland Airport each year.
