Auckland International Airport Limited
(ASX:AIA) is set to invest $1.8 billion in an aeronautical program for the next five years that will transform its airport.
The largest airport in New Zealand says the funds will go towards expanding and upgrading its international departure and check-in areas, building a new domestic jet terminal, and providing three more international gates for the A380 and B787, amongst other things.
Auckland International Airport says the transformation of its airport will support the continued growth of travel and tourism in NZ.
It comes as the company saw a 26 per cent uptick in passengers since 2014, while the number of international airlines has grown by over 60 per cent, in just the last 22 months.
