Sobre Auckland Airport

Auckland Airport (AKL) is the main airport for Auckland and New Zealand's busiest gateway, handling about 19 million passengers in the year to June 2026. It stands in Māngere, about 21 km (13 miles) south of Auckland city center, beside the Manukau Harbour.

Air New Zealand has its hub here, flying to more than a dozen New Zealand cities and across the Pacific, Australia, Asia and North America. Jetstar and Qantas link Auckland with Australia, and long-haul airlines such as Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, United, Qatar Airways and LATAM add flights to Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.

The airport has two terminals about 500 m apart: the International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal, linked by a free transfer bus and a signposted walkway. A new domestic jet terminal joined to the eastern end of the International Terminal is under construction and is expected to open in 2029, bringing domestic jet flights under one roof with international ones.

From the airport, most travelers head into the city center and the Viaduct Harbour, across the Harbour Bridge to the North Shore, or to the downtown ferry terminal for Waiheke Island. Others drive south to Hamilton and Rotorua or north to the Bay of Islands.

Consejos de llegada a Auckland Airport

Before you land, complete the New Zealand Traveller Declaration online or in its app; a paper form is available on arrival if you could not. International flights arrive at the International Terminal, where you pass through passport control, using the eGates if your passport is eligible.

After baggage claim comes the biosecurity check. Declare all food, plants, animal products and used outdoor gear such as hiking boots, tents and fishing equipment; undeclared risk items bring an instant NZ$400 fine. Travelers with nothing to declare can use the express lane, past detector dogs, while those with items to declare join the screening lanes.

You then walk into the international arrivals hall. Pre-booked taxis and drivers meet you inside arrivals, on-demand taxis, rideshare and Super Shuttle leave from the Transport Pick-up Zone outside door 11, and the AirportLink and SkyDrive buses stop outside. Domestic flights arrive at the Domestic Terminal, where taxis and shuttles wait outside door 4.

New Zealand uses the New Zealand dollar and is on NZST (UTC+12), or NZDT (UTC+13) in summer.

Transporte terrestre

The bus and train are the cheapest way into the city; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier with luggage, late at night or for addresses outside the center.

  • SkyDrive bus to the city center

    Express buses run from both terminals to SkyCity in central Auckland about every 30 minutes; pay by card on board or book online. Traffic on the highway can slow the trip at peak times.

  • AirportLink bus and train

    AirportLink buses leave about every 10 minutes from stops at both terminals to Puhinui Station, where trains run to Britomart in the city center; you pay with an AT HOP card. It is cheap but involves a change with your luggage.

  • Taxi from Auckland airport

    Taxis wait at the Transport Pick-up Zone outside door 11 of the International Terminal and outside door 4 of the Domestic Terminal, going door to door anywhere in Auckland.

  • Rideshare

    Rideshare pickups use the Transport Pick-up Zone at the International Terminal and signposted zones on the Domestic Terminal forecourt.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked car meets you in the arrivals area, useful for families, groups, late arrivals and longer trips to Hamilton, Rotorua or Northland.

  • Rental cars

    Rental car companies have desks and car collection at both terminals; New Zealand drives on the left.

Do I need an NZeTA to fly to Auckland?
