Auckland airport new zealand. Airport (AKL) Auckland New Zealand
: NZAA
Auckland Airport is one of the most important objects of the country's economic infrastructure, providing jobs for several thousand people and being the second largest cargo transshipment base by value - more than 14 billion US dollars worth of cargo passes through the port annually. The airport's share of the New Zealand international air transportation market is more than 70%, which suggests its status as the country's main international air hub.
On average in Auckland Airport 45 aircraft take off and land every hour. The airport's main runway is fully Category IIIb certified. The taxiway parallel to it can be used as a runway and replaces it during maintenance and repair of the main runway. Operating two runways at the same time is currently not possible because the distance between the taxiway and the main runway does not allow aircraft takeoffs and landings to be handled simultaneously on both surfaces. In November 2007, construction work began on the construction of a new runway in the northern part of the airport complex. Construction is expected to be carried out in several stages and after the runway is put into operation, it will be used to handle small aircraft in order to relieve traffic on the airport’s main runway.
Story
General information
The history of the airport began in 1928 with the creation of a local flying club and its lease of a small territory of a former farm plot. At that time the club had three small de Havilland DH.60 Moth aircraft. Opening the runway of the flying club, its president noted that “this territory has many advantages compared to other areas and can be developed in the future into an airfield and even a military training ground. The site is well drained, has no nearby power lines or buildings, and is not subject to fog.”
In 1960, the city began work to transform the airfield into Auckland's main airport, expanding its area to the north-west into land in the Whenuapai area, with much of the runway being built on landfill sites in Manukau Harbour. The airport received its first commercial flight in November 1965, when an Air New Zealand Douglas DC-8 from Sydney landed at the Port of Auckland. The official opening of the airport took place early next year; on this occasion, on the weekends from January 29 to 31, mass celebrations and thematic exhibitions were held in the area of the airport.
In 1977, a new international passenger terminal building was built, named after the famous New Zealand pilot Jean Batten. After this, the terminal underwent a structural restructuring only in 2005, when there was an absolute need to separate the flow of arriving and departing passengers, since otherwise there was, for example, the possibility of transferring an explosive device by a person arriving from an airport with an insufficient level of security control to a passenger on a flight to USA .
Further development
Currently Auckland Airport is working on the construction of a second runway north of the airport's main runway. The second runway will be designed to serve takeoffs and landings of small regional, private airliners and general aviation aircraft. The initial project for the construction of a second runway involved the construction of a 1,200-meter strip to accommodate small aircraft and had a budget of NZD 32 million. Then appropriate changes were made to the project, and the construction completion period was reduced by several months - the airport management set the goal of putting the second runway into operation by the beginning of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. After the second runway is put into operation, small and medium-sized aircraft will be moved from the main runway, since currently aircraft of these classes have to wait quite a long time on takeoff after jetliners take off due to the strong turbulence generated by the latter.
The implementation of the master plan for the reconstruction and development of the airport began in November 2007, the end of the first stage is planned for 2011 with the commissioning of a second runway with a length of 1,650 meters to accommodate small and regional aviation. The third and final stage of the master plan includes work to extend the second runway to 2,150 meters, which will allow international medium-haul flights to Australia and Oceania to be transferred to this runway. Also, the list of works of the third phase of the master plan includes the construction of a modern building for a passenger terminal for domestic airlines, which is planned to be built to the north of the current common terminal area. The cost of the entire project is 120 million New Zealand dollars, the project itself does not contain anything extraordinary - only plans to expand and modernize the existing structure of the airport complex.
Modernization of the existing international terminal building was carried out in 2009, after which the airport was certified to handle Airbus A380 aircraft. The national airline of the United Arab Emirates, Emirates Airline, launched a scheduled A380 flight from Dubai International Airport to Auckland in May 2009, with a stopover at Sydney Airport, and plans to open another flight on the same route with a stop in Melbourne.
Terminals
International terminal
The ticket check-in area for international passengers is located on the ground floor in the east wing of the terminal.
Boarding gates numbered 1-10 are equipped with one boarding bridge each. Gates 15 and 16 each have two jet bridges and serve wide-body aircraft, including double-decker A380 aircraft.
Gates 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D and 5A do not have telescopic gangways and are exits to the platform for boarding passengers on buses.
In November 2007 Auckland Airport began implementing a master plan for the reconstruction and modernization of airport complex facilities, within the framework of which by 2011 the territory of the international terminal should be expanded and a new passenger arrival hall should be opened. The arrival hall will be connected to the car park through a system of escalators, travelators and elevators. Currently, the question remains of how the ticket check-in area, passenger arrival and departure halls, baggage claim area and immigration and customs inspection area will be located on one floor of the international terminal. National airline Air New Zealand has slammed the airport's master plan as "unnecessary and ill-timed" and pointed to possible abuses of its monopoly in the air ground market.
Zone separation
Up until 2006, passengers on arriving and departing flights to Auckland Airport were in the same sterile area of the airport. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it became necessary to separate the flow of departing and arriving passengers into two unrelated areas. The New Zealand Ministry of Civil Aviation has issued Auckland Airport temporary permission to serve passengers in one sterile area, the validity of this permission was set until 2006. At the same time, servicing flights to the USA, as well as all flights of Qantas and Cathay Pacific airlines, were moved to a separate gate, equipped with an additional scanner, metal detector and X-ray machine.
Management Auckland Airport decided not to go the route of building an additional superstructure for the arrivals hall (as was done in Beijing, Vancouver and Heathrow), but developed a plan to expand the territory of the sterile area on the ground floor of the terminal in the direction of the existing boarding gates and their subsequent separation from the general sterile area areas with glass partitions. This plan was implemented at the beginning of 2006.
Domestic terminal
The domestic terminal building actually represents two separate buildings, previously used for the airport’s business needs, which are connected to each other by a common extension with a shopping area of shops, cafes and restaurants. The main operators at the domestic terminal are Pacific Blue, Air New Zealand and Jetstar, which have taken over domestic flights from Qantas and former carrier Ansett New Zealand.
Jetstar has gates numbered 20 and 21, Pacific Blue uses the new gate 24, Air New Zealand has gates numbered 29-33, all of these gates are equipped with telescopic bridges. Regional turboprop aircraft from Air New Zealand and its partners are serviced at gates at the end of the east wing of the sterile area of the domestic terminal, with passengers reaching the aircraft from the east wing gates on foot across the apron area.

In 1988, a management company was created by the New Zealand government Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL)(Auckland International Airport). Until this time, the port was the responsibility of the Auckland Regional Council, which includes representatives from the five boroughs of the city.
From 1988 to 1998, the government of the country was the largest holder of shares in the management company, then the controlling stake was put up for exchange trading and as a result became the fifth largest corporatized management company in the list of airport holdings in the world. At the end of 1998, the majority of the holding's shares were held by Auckland City Council (25.8%), Manukau City Council (9.6%) and North Shore City Council (7.1%). The following year, North Shore City Council sold its entire shareholding, and in 2002, Auckland City Council also put some of its shares in the airport into public trading, thereby reducing its stake to 12.8% of the shares of the management company AIAL.
Stock Auckland International Airport traded on the New Zealand Exchange (NZX: AIA) and Australian (ASX: AIA) stock exchanges, with about 60% of all shares at the end of 2009 being owned by foreign investors and about 40% of shares being held by New Zealand organizations and private companies. According to Standard & Poor's agency, AIAL's long-term credit rating is estimated at A+, short-term - in A-1, and the forecast for changes in the rating in the next two to three years, according to this agency, is estimated as Stable .
Auckland International Airport has different sources of financial resources and maintains two different balances of its activities: for enterprises and branches of the holding, whose work is directly related to aviation activities, and enterprises and branches, whose work is not related to it. Income from the first group includes revenues from airlines for aviation, technical and service maintenance, fees for aircraft takeoffs and landings, and rental of air carrier space in airport terminals. The non-aviation group receives a significant portion of income from financial investments, as well as income from car parking and retail outlets located on the territory of the airport.
Conducting two types of groups of activities on different financial balances and, in general, the variety of commercial services provided by the holding allows Auckland International Airport overcome common crisis situations such as the economic downturn in global aviation after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the terrorist attacks in Bali in 2002, the SARS outbreak, the war in Iraq and others, while remaining positive in the overall financial performance of the holding. Auckland International Airport relies on stable income from activities not directly related to aviation services, which allows it to mitigate the financial damage from large fluctuations in the commercial air transportation market around the world. It is also important that New Zealand has always maintained the image of one of the safest countries for tourist holidays.
Before July 2008 Auckland International Airport levied a fare charge of US$25 on each passenger (aged 12 years or older) departing from New Zealand. In July 2008, this fee was reduced to 13 dollars, in 2009 - 13.5 dollars, in 2010 - 14 US dollars, and at the moment the increase in the tariff fee has been recorded with no forecasts for a further increase.
Ground communication
The buildings of the international passenger terminal of the airport and the domestic passenger terminal are connected by sidewalks and free local bus services.
The main mode of transport by which you can get to Auckland Airport, is road transport. The airport is located on two national highways, SH-20A and SH-20B, which start at the northern end of the airport complex and provide access to central Auckland, and onwards to the rest of the city and other areas of the country. In the absence of traffic jams on highways, travel time between the central part of the city and the airport is 40-45 minutes.
Taxis and minibuses are available to passengers on the station square near both terminal buildings.
Aircraft accidents and accidents
List of aviation incidents directly related to Auckland Airport:
- July 4, 1966. A few seconds after lifting off the runway Auckland Airport An Air New Zealand Douglas DC-8 crashed during a training flight. Two of the five pilots on board were killed.
- February 17, 1979. When landing at Auckland Airport An Air New Zealand Fokker Friendship crashed into Mount Manukau. One pilot and one airline employee were killed.
- July 31, 1989. Shortly after taking off from the airport at night, a Convair 340/580 aircraft, performing a cargo flight, crashed to the ground and burned out as a result of a fire. All three pilots on board the plane were killed.
- March 12, 2003, Singapore Airlines Flight 286. Due to an incorrect calculation of the take-off weight of the Boeing 747-400 during the take-off run, the pilot lifted the aircraft from the runway too early. As a result, the airliner caught the covering of runway 05L with its tail part and dragged its tail along the runway for a distance of almost 500 meters before the final takeoff.
List of accidents and disasters with mention Auckland Airport:
- July 13, 1973, flight 816 Auckland - Papeete - the crew was unable to correct too high a vertical speed, as a result of which the airliner fell into a forested area in front of the airport runway. Almost all passengers and crew members (97 out of 101 people on board) died not from the direct impact of the plane on the trees, but because of the fire and the general panic that followed. United Airlines San Francisco - Los Angeles - Honolulu - Oakland, Boeing B747-122 aircraft (registration number N4713U). After takeoff from Honolulu International Airport, during the climb phase, the airliner lost a poorly closed front luggage compartment door, after which explosive decompression occurred and loss of thrust of the third and fourth engines, 9 passengers were thrown out. The crew managed to land the plane at Honolulu Airport. The cause of the incident was the failure of the tailgate closed indicator or a breakdown in the electrical system of this indicator, which led to the door lock being set to the unlocked position. 9 people died out of 356 on board.
- June 9, 1995, Ansett New Zealand flight 703 Auckland - Palmerston North, de Havilland Canada Dash 8 (registration ZK-NEY).

Auckland International Airport is one of the largest not only in New Zealand (it has the status of the main international air hub in the country), but also in the world. The number of passengers served here annually amounts to tens of millions. Passenger flows on international and domestic flights are distributed almost equally.
The flight density here is so high that planes take off and land literally one after another. Of course, such functional richness requires clear and coordinated work of many services. Indeed, Auckland provides jobs for thousands of people.
The history of this now largest airport began in 1928 with a small flying club. In 1960, planned work began on the construction of the country's main air hub here. In 1977, the airport was replenished with a new international terminal building. By 2010, a specialized modernization of the structure was carried out.
Auckland Airport lives a full, busy and well-organized life. And only once you are here can you appreciate the full scale of this thoughtful and coordinated work.
Auckland Airport, formerly known as , (IATA: AKL, ICAO: NZAA) is the largest commercial airport in New Zealand, serving more than 13 million passengers annually (according to statistics, 7 million people per year are on international flights and 6 million on domestic flights). Auckland Airport ranks third in the ranking of all airports in the world in the service category from 5 to 15 million passengers per year. The expected volume of passenger traffic by 2025 should double and amount to about 26-27 million people per year. The airport is located in the Mangere district of the western suburbs of Manukau, 20 kilometers south of the central area of Auckland. The port is the main transit hub for New Zealand's flagship airline, Air New Zealand.
Auckland Airport is one of the most important objects of the country's economic infrastructure, providing jobs for several thousand people and being the second largest cargo transshipment base by value - more than 14 billion US dollars worth of cargo passes through the port annually. The airport's share of the New Zealand international air transportation market is more than 70%, which suggests its status as the country's main international air hub.
On average in Auckland Airport 45 aircraft take off and land every hour. The airport's main runway is fully Category IIIb certified. The taxiway parallel to it can be used as a runway and replaces it during maintenance and repair of the main runway. Operating two runways at the same time is currently not possible because the distance between the taxiway and the main runway does not allow aircraft takeoffs and landings to be handled simultaneously on both surfaces.

Management Company
In 1988, a management company was created by the New Zealand government Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL)(Auckland International Airport). Until this time, the port was the responsibility of the Auckland Regional Council, which includes representatives from the five boroughs of the city.
From 1988 to 1998, the government of the country was the largest holder of shares in the management company, then the controlling stake was put up for exchange trading and as a result Auckland International Airport became the fifth largest corporatized management company in the list of airport holdings in the world. At the end of 1998, the majority of the holding's shares were held by Auckland City Council (25.8%), Manukau City Council (9.6%) and North Shore City Council (7.1%). The following year, North Shore City Council sold its entire shareholding, and in 2002, Auckland City Council also put some of its shares in the airport into public trading, thereby reducing its stake to 12.8% of the shares of the management company AIAL.
Stock Auckland International Airport traded on the New Zealand Exchange (NZX: AIA) and Australian (ASX: AIA) stock exchanges, with about 60% of all shares at the end of 2009 being owned by foreign investors and about 40% of shares being held by New Zealand organizations and private companies. According to Standard & Poor's agency, AIAL's long-term credit rating is estimated at A+, short-term - in A-1, and the forecast for changes in the rating in the next two to three years, according to this agency, is estimated as Stable .
Auckland International Airport has different sources of financial resources and maintains two different balances of its activities: for enterprises and branches of the holding, whose work is directly related to aviation activities, and enterprises and branches, whose work is not related to it. Income from the first group includes revenues from airlines for aviation, technical and service maintenance, fees for aircraft takeoffs and landings, and rental of air carrier space in airport terminals. The non-aviation group receives a significant portion of income from financial investments, as well as income from car parking and retail outlets located on the territory of the airport.
Conducting two types of groups of activities on different financial balances and, in general, the variety of commercial services provided by the holding allows Auckland International Airport overcome common crisis situations such as the economic downturn in global aviation after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the terrorist attacks in Bali in 2002, the SARS outbreak, the war in Iraq and others, while remaining positive in the overall financial performance of the holding. Auckland International Airport relies on stable income from activities not directly related to aviation services, which allows it to mitigate the financial damage from large fluctuations in the commercial air transportation market around the world. It is also important that New Zealand has always maintained the image of one of the safest countries for tourist holidays.
Before July 2008 Auckland International Airport levied a fare charge of US$25 on each passenger (aged 12 years or older) departing from New Zealand. In July 2008, this fee was reduced to 13 dollars, in 2009 - 13.5 dollars, in 2010 - 14 US dollars, and at the moment the increase in the tariff fee has been recorded with no forecasts for a further increase.
