Airport calls for new terminal design
Auckland Airport has announced the next step in the development of its new
integrated terminal building.
Graham Matthews, Auckland Airport's general manager of airport development
and delivery, says, "Our new integrated terminal is at the very heart of our
30-year vision to create the 'airport of the future', and will need to be
able to accommodate up to 40 million domestic and international passengers."
"We have begun an international search for detailed engineering and
architectural design, and for cost management services, to enable us to
commence the design process."
"We need to assemble the very best design team we can find to implement the
vision that Auckland Airport has for this major infrastructure project. We
plan to be able to appoint the successful team by mid-April."
"We would like to see New Zealand firms teamed-up with international partners
to respond to our search, and we encourage them to do so," says Mr Matthews.
"The design of our new integrated terminal is critical to making journeys
better. We need to ensure that both our arriving and departing passengers
have a quality experience at Auckland Airport. That includes everything from
check-in and border processing to shopping, relaxing or working. We must also
develop a flexible design that can accommodate changing aircraft types into
the future."
"Auckland Airport's new integrated terminal will be built in stages to ensure
it can accommodate growing passenger demand. The integrated terminal will
serve the airport's existing southern runway and a new northern runway, which
is expected to become operational around 2025," says Mr Matthews.
