TRAINING FOR WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

Auckland Airport’s emergency crews have been put through their paces in Singapore during their annual live-fire aircraft firefighting training.

Using a Boeing 747-sized simulator, our Airport Emergency Service firefighters tackled realistic engine fires, fuel spills and wheel fires in temperatures reaching 35°C and humidity as high as 100 per cent.

This specialist training helps ensure our crews meet international aviation standards and are ready to protect travellers, crew and airport staff during any aircraft emergency.

A new international shopping experience is taking shape at Auckland Airport.

Our biggest airside retail upgrade in a decade will bring travellers an expanded beauty precinct, upgraded duty free stores and more space to explore.

The new line-up includes an expanded CHANEL boutique, luxury beauty and fragrance from Prada Beauty, Miu Miu and Maison Francis Kurkdjian, plus more than 10 K-beauty brands arriving for the first time.

Standalone Aesop and Le labo stores are also opening later this year.

The transformation is progressing in stages and is expected to be completed in December 2026. Thanks for your patience while we get everything ready.

Throwback to some of our fave arrivals stories...

When we met Tom, he was fresh off the plane from the UK and buzzing to reunite with his mate Rachael, who fell head over heels for New Zealand and never looked back.

It'd been over a year since they'd seen each other and they promptly checked in for some serious bestie time and catch ups with Rachel's dog, Captain.
