3. Company Background
The site of the airport was first used as an airfield by the Auckland Aero Club. In 1928, the club
leased some land from a dairy farmer to accommodate the club's three De Havilland Gypsy
Moths. The club president noted at the time that the site "has many advantages of vital
importance for an aerodrome and training ground. It has good approaches, is well drained and is
free from power lines, buildings and fogs." In 1960 work started to transform the site into
Auckland's main airport. Much of the runway is on land reclaimed from the Manukau Harbour.
The airport was officially opened the following year, with a 'grand air pageant' on Auckland
Anniversary weekend, 29 January to 31 January 1966.
Auckland Airport is the largest and busiest airport in New Zealand with over 13 million
passengers a year, expected to more than double by 2025. It is the homeAir New Zealand, and a

8. My Interest in Auckland Airport
I am Interested in Auckland Airport because I think it can only
expand as a business and it is a good business to buy shares in
because it is a monopoly and New Zealand has a huge tourist
economy, but also New Zealand are hosting the 2011 rugby
World Cup which will create a lot of business opportunities for
NZ but in particular Auckland Airport.
