Auckland Airport CEO Carrie Hurihanganui said that “although Auckland Airport’s results continued to reflect the impact of the pandemic and the challenging operating conditions of the 2022 financial year, the reopening of the border to Australia in April had marked a turning point in the organisation’s recovery.

“After two years of disruption, careful cost management, and perseverance from the team at Auckland Airport, our recovery is now well underway.”

Auckland Airport concluded a more than $100m (NZD$160m) overhaul of the core roading network in the 2022 financial year.

The airport is also focusing on the development of a $189.1m (NZD$300m) transport hub at the front door of the international terminal.

Furthermore, the airport announced the development of Mānawa Bay, a more than $126m (NZD$200m) premium outlet shopping destination to the east of the precinct.
