Auckland (AKL) Airport Advertising

Auckland AKL Airport Advertising

Named Second-best Airport Worldwide by Skytrax, Auckland Airport is known for being high quality and for its excellent customer service. While named for the city of Auckland, the airport is actually much closer to Manukai, which is just 20 minutes away, while it takes around 45 minutes to reach the airport from Auckland’s downtown area.

With roughly 16 million passengers annually, Auckland Airport serves as a hub for Pacific Blue and Air New Zealand. It’s also host to a range of airlines that offer direct and connecting flights to local and international destinations. Two long runways make it easy for multiple airlines to use the airport and two on-site hotels provide comfortable lodgings for travelers. The airport is undergoing expansions which will boost capacity within the airport.

AKL airport advertising is provided to companies interested in marketing to the diverse amount of travelers that frequent the airport. Companies may select static ads, which include wall displays, print ads and other static methods of promotion, or they can choose digital Auckland Airport advertising via WiFi and website ads.

Auckland Airport Advertising Skyrockets with Chinese Passengers


Posted: August 29, 2018

Last week, Auckland Airport reported a surprising 17.1% jump in retail revenue for their last fiscal year. This comes alongside a drastic rise in passenger traffic, as well. Most of the traffic increase is due to more Chinese travelers making their way through the New Zealand airport and this has boosted airport advertising results and retail income throughout the airport. The drastic increase means good things for anyone trying to promote their products or services in the New Zealand airport.

With 20.5 million passengers pouring through the Auckland Airport, advertising is reaching more travelers than ever. The rise in passenger traffic is partially due to the recent expansion of the International Terminal, which has increased capacity for international travelers. The result is an increase by roughly 1 million passengers between 2017 and 2018. Nearly 8% of the passenger increase is due to the influx of Chinese travelers who make their way to New Zealand. In total, spending has increased more than passenger count, which is always a good sign.

The amount of money passengers are spending has gone up in several areas, as well. This indicates that airport ads for electronics, cosmetics, and alcohol tend to have a good return, at least within the actual airport. As more passengers flood through the terminals, it makes sense that there will be more eyes on the ad campaigns placed there.

Auckland airport advertising will only become more effective as the airport continues to see an increase in international and domestic flights. All numbers point to increased revenue and passenger spending, so advertising campaigns can expect to reach more passengers with disposable income. It’s a good time to start advertising in the Auckland Airport.
