Air NZ’s Massive Single-Span Arch Roof is World’s Best Practice!

Air New Zealand will finally move into its state-of-the-art Airport Campus next year after plans to build the campus initially proposed in 2019 before COVID-19 caused widespread disruptions to global aviation.

It comes after Air New Zealand unveiled its new premium check-in at Auckland Airport last month as part of a NZ $2 Billion plus upgrade to the domestic and international aviation hub.

According to Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran, who took over the airline at the start of the pandemic, the new campus will consolidate the entire airline under one roof for the first time in generations.

“We’ve spent the last two years looking at how we can set ourselves up for success as we revive our airline,” he said last year ahead of the campus’s ground break. “We know we work best when we work together, and we have plenty of underutilised space at the airport campus to make that happen.”
