The Auckland Airport - Terminal Integration Programme (previously known as the Domestic Jet Hub) will deliver a new domestic jet terminal connected to the existing international terminal. The new NZ$2.2 billion plus project will provide direct access between domestic and international travel and reduced connection times.
As part of the August 2021 reset in its forward infrastructure program, Auckland Airport expects the progress on major works of the Domestic Jet Hub to be governed by the pace of aviation recovery.
The project has an estimated total cost of NZ$2.2 billion (A$2 billion) and comprises the delivery of:
- a new domestic terminal
- construction of 12 new domestic aircraft gates built to specifications to accommodate the world’s largest passenger planes with a wingspan of 65m to 80m
- five-minute indoor connection to the existing international terminal
- additional dwelling and retail space, and
- a smart baggage system.
