'''Public Transport in Fiji''' refers to the various modes of transportation available to the residents and visitors of the island nation of Fiji. The country's public transport system primarily consists of buses, ferries, and taxis. |
|||
'''Auckland Airport''' ({{lang-mi|Taunga Rererangi o Tāmaki-Makaurau}})<ref>https://teara.govt.nz/mi/photograph/39547/te-manukanuka-o-hoturoa-marae-auckland-airport</ref> {{Airport codes|AKL|NZAA}} is the largest and [[List of the busiest airports in New Zealand|busiest]] airport in New Zealand, with over 21 million passengers in the year ended March 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://corporate.aucklandairport.co.nz/-/media/Files/Corporate/Monthly_Traffic_Reports/2019/MTU_Month_March_2019.ashx?la=en|title=Monthly Traffic update – March 2019|publisher=Auckland Airport}}</ref> The airport is located near [[Māngere]], a residential suburb, and Airport Oaks, a service hub suburb {{convert|21|km}} south of the [[Auckland]] [[Auckland CBD|city centre]]. It is both a domestic and international hub for [[Air New Zealand]], and the New Zealand hub of [[Jetstar]]. |
|||
== History == |
|||
The airport is one of New Zealand's most important infrastructure assets, providing thousands of jobs for the region. It handled 71 per cent of New Zealand's international air passenger arrivals and departures in 2000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www2.stats.govt.nz/domino/external/PASFull/pasfull.nsf/173371ce38d7627b4c25680900046f25/4c2567ef00247c6acc256c790001a6de?OpenDocument |title=Tourism and migration 2000, Part 1: International passenger traffic |year=2000 |publisher=Statistics New Zealand |access-date=8 June 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017194728/http://www2.stats.govt.nz/domino/external/PASFull/pasfull.nsf/173371ce38d7627b4c25680900046f25/4c2567ef00247c6acc256c790001a6de?OpenDocument |archive-date=17 October 2015 }}</ref> It is one of only two commercial airports in New Zealand (the other being [[Christchurch International Airport|Christchurch]]) capable of handling [[Boeing 747]] and [[Airbus A380]] aircraft. |

Public transport in Fiji has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of the population. Early modes of transportation were limited, with most travel occurring by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carts. As urbanization increased and tourism grew, the demand for more organized and efficient public transport services emerged.<ref>https://fijipocketguide.com/public-transport-in-fiji/</ref> |
|||
The airport has a single {{Convert|3535|m|ft|abbr=on}} runway, 05R/23L, which is [[Category III approach|Cat IIIb]] capable (at a reduced rate of movements) in the 23L direction. It has a capacity of about 45 flight movements per hour, and is currently the busiest single-runway airport in Oceania.<ref name="HER"/> In November 2007 work began on a new northern runway, to be built in several stages and to be used mainly by smaller aircraft, freeing up capacity on the main runway. The project was put on hold for at least 12 months in October 2009, however, and deferred for a further few years in August 2010 following consultation with airlines and a review of capacity management options. The timing of the recommencement of construction of the second runway will be demand driven relative to the capacity of the existing runway. The expected completion date for the second runway is now 2025.<ref>{{cite news|title=Development of airports second runway by around 2025 |url=https://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Development-of-airports-second-runway-by-around-2025.aspx |access-date=16 October 2015 |publisher=Auckland Airport |date=29 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017194727/https://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Development-of-airports-second-runway-by-around-2025.aspx |archive-date=17 October 2015 }}</ref> |

== Modes of Public Transport == |
|||
==History== |
|||
[[File:Mangere International Airport, 1965.jpg|thumb|Māngere International Airport in 1965]] |
|||
=== |
=== Buses === |
||
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 Moth]]s. 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." Prior to rebuilding, this was known as [[Mangere Aerodrome]]. |
|||
Buses are a common mode of public transport in Fiji, connecting major cities, towns, and rural areas. These buses provide an essential lifeline for many Fijians, offering affordable transportation for daily commutes and longer journeys. Bus services often operate on scheduled routes and provide a crucial link between urban centers and remote communities.<ref>https://fijipocketguide.com/public-transport-in-fiji/</ref> |
|||
From 1948, the [[RNZAF Base Auckland]] at [[Whenuapai]] served as the civilian airport for Auckland.<ref name="EvolvingAuckland9.2">{{Cite book| editor-first=John| editor-last=La Roche |editor-link=John La Roche |title=Evolving Auckland: The City's Engineering Heritage |year=2011 |publisher=Wily Publications |chapter=Auckland International Airport |first1=Mike |last1=Lancaster |pages=206–210 |isbn=9781927167038}}</ref> This was chosen, despite the hills adjacent to Whenuapai limiting the ability of newer aircraft to use the facilities, to the lack of cost to the [[Auckland City Council]], as the site was already established as an RNZAF base.<ref name="EvolvingAuckland9.2"/> A September 1948 report by Sir Frederick Tymms recommended that Whenuapai Airport be replaced with a larger purpose-built airport located in either [[Māngere]] or [[Pakuranga]].<ref name="EvolvingAuckland9.2"/> In 1958, the [[New Zealand Government]] commissioned Leigh Fisher Associates to survey and design the international airport at Māngere.<ref name="EvolvingAuckland9.2"/> |
|||
=== Ferries === |
|||
In 1960 work started to transform the site into Auckland's main airport. Much of the runway is on land [[Land reclamation|reclaimed]] from the [[Manukau Harbour]].<ref name=contractor>{{cite news|url=https://contractormag.co.nz/contractor/heritage-nz/auckland-international-airport/|title=Auckland International Airport: A work in progress|first=Charles|last=Fairbairn|date=4 April 2017|work=Contractor Magazine}}</ref> The first flight to leave was an [[Air New Zealand]] [[Douglas DC-8|DC-8]] in November 1965, bound for [[Sydney Airport|Sydney]].<ref>NZ Airport ''[[Australian Transport]]'' January 1966 page 32</ref> The airport was officially opened the following year, with a 'grand air pageant' on Auckland Anniversary weekend, 29 to 31 January 1966.<ref>{{Cite book|publisher=Auckland International Airport Air Display Committee in association with the airport committee of the Auckland Regional Council|url=http://archive.org/details/auckland-international-airport-opening-1966|title=Auckland International Airport opening ceremony, January 29, 1966: official souvenir programme and booklet|date=January 1966|year=1966}}</ref> |
|||
Given Fiji's geographical characteristics, ferries play a significant role in connecting the various islands within the archipelago. Ferries transport both passengers and goods, serving as a vital link for inter-island travel. They are especially important for accessing more remote and less developed regions.<ref>https://fijipocketguide.com/the-guide-to-travelling-in-fiji-by-ferry/</ref> |
|||
Upon the airport's opening, the runway was {{Convert|8500|ft|4=0|order=flip}} long. The runway was extended westward to {{Convert|10800|ft|4=0|order=flip}} in 1973.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/1966/air-transport-and-airports/page-8|title=Airports|website=An encyclopaedia of New Zealand|editor1-last=McLintock|editor1-first=A.H.|date=1966}}</ref><ref name=contractor /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://mro.massey.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10179/3186/02_whole.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y|title=The development and performance of airports in New Zealand as commercial entities|first=David Keith|last=Lyon|year=2011|page=151|publisher=Massey University}}</ref> |
|||
=== Taxis === |
|||
[[Qantas]] commenced the first scheduled [[Boeing 747]] service out of Auckland on Friday 8 December 1972.<ref>{{Cite news |date=4 December 1972 |title=No hitches in first jumbo service |pages=1 |work=[[The Press]] |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19721204.2.7}}</ref> |
|||
Taxis provide an on-demand mode of transport, offering convenience and flexibility to passengers. Taxi services are available in urban areas and near tourist destinations, providing an alternative to buses and ferries. While they tend to be more expensive than other modes of transport, taxis offer a door-to-door service for those who prefer personalized travel.<ref>https://fijipocketguide.com/the-guide-to-taxis-in-fiji/</ref> |
|||
A new international terminal, named after [[Jean Batten]], was built in 1977.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.auckland-airport.co.nz/~/media/21992090C8F345D1A9F50C0EDEA187D2.ashx?sc_database=master|title=Expanded Arrivals Processing|publisher=Auckland Airport|access-date=15 December 2008}}</ref> Prior to this, all flights used what is now the domestic terminal.<ref name="nzherald.co.nz">[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10863695 Overhaul for domestic terminal – Business – NZ Herald News].

Previously taxiway 'Alpha' (parallel to the main runway) had been modified and designated as Runway 23R/05L so that rehabilitation work could be completed on the main runway 23L/05R. After the work was completed, the temporary runway reverted to taxiway alpha, although the main runway retained its L/R designations. In 2007, construction began on a second runway to the north of the current one. Initially the new runway would have been {{convert|1200|m|adj=on}} long and catered for regional flights operated by Air New Zealand using [[turboprop]] aircraft. This would have cost $32 million and would have improved the efficiency of the airport by removing smaller planes (which require longer separation distances from the [[wake turbulence|air turbulence wakes]] of preceding jet airliners) from the main runway. At a later stage, the runway would have been lengthened to {{convert|1950|m}} to allow it be used by small jets (such as the [[Boeing 737]] and [[Airbus A320]]) on domestic and trans-Tasman flights.<ref name="HER">{{cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10467994&pnum=0|title=Stage one begins for second runway|work=[[The New Zealand Herald]]|date=5 October 2007|pages=A7|first=Mathew|last=Dearnaley}}</ref> In August 2009, however, the project was put on hold due to a downturn in air travel, and later in 2010 the project was suspended.<ref>{{cite news|title=Auckland Airport extends suspension of second runway |url=http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Auckland-Airport-extends-suspension-of-second-runway.aspx |access-date=16 October 2015 |publisher=Auckland Airport |date=16 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017194727/http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Auckland-Airport-extends-suspension-of-second-runway.aspx |archive-date=17 October 2015 }}</ref> |

Construction for Stage One started in November 2007. Stage Two saw the runway being lengthened to {{convert|1650|m}}, which enabled domestic jet flights to use it. Stage Three (final stage) bought the lengthening of the runway to {{convert|2150|m}}, allowing medium-sized international jet flights to land there, from destinations such as the Pacific Islands or Australia. Eventually a new domestic terminal would also be built to the north to better utilise the new runway. The new runway will thus free up the longer southern runway to handle more heavy jet operations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016050445/http://www.auckland-airport.co.nz/NewsHistory/press_releases.php?rid=222&pid=1|url-status=dead|title=Auckland Airport|archive-date=16 October 2008|website=AIA}}</ref> The ten-year project would cost NZ$120 million, not including substantial extensions planned for the airport arrivals/departure buildings and associated structures.<ref name="HER"/> |

In early 2014, the airport released their 30-year vision for the future, which envisaged the airport to combine both the international and domestic operations into one combined building based around the existing international terminal. This will see new domestic piers built to the south of the existing international precinct within the next 5 years. The plan also allows for the extension of the current international piers and also the creation of new piers for international operations. A new 2,150 metres long northern runway will be able to cater for aircraft up to the size of the 777 and 787 jets. New public transport links including a new railway station and line may be built in the future. The plan has been split into four implementation phases. Phase 1 will see all operations combined into one terminal precinct as well as improved road network surrounding the terminal within the next five years. Phase 2 sees the new northern runway constructed as well as the extension of the terminal forecourt by 2025. Phase 3 involves the extension of both international and domestic piers by 2044. Phase 4 sees the northern runway extended to a length of around {{convert|3000|m|ft}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Airport of the future|url=http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/downloads/aial-masterplan.pdf|publisher=Auckalnd Airport|access-date=4 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140504103914/http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/downloads/aial-masterplan.pdf|archive-date=4 May 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> |

From the 2015 Annual Report, work will commence on extending Pier B in the current financial year. This project will allow for three more gates to be built. This will double, from three to six, the number of A380 aircraft Auckland Airport can accommodate at any one time. Also, it will increase the number of B787-9 aircraft that can be accommodated from six to nine. This development has been requested by airlines for greater capacity, in the future 4 more gates will be built on the northern side of Pier B.<ref>{{cite news|title=Expanding our international terminal capacity|url=http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/2015-Report/Annual-Report/Future-Focus.aspx|access-date=22 October 2015|publisher=Auckland Airport Annual report 2015}}</ref> |

Auckland Airport consists of two terminals; the International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal. The two terminals are located approximately 500m apart and are connected by a free shuttle bus service and a signposted walkway. The airport has 65 gates in total, 23 with [[Jetway|Jetbridges]] and 42 remote stands for aircraft parking. |
|||
===International terminal=== |
|||
Check-in counters occupy the eastern end of the ground floor of the International Terminal. |
|||
*Gates 1–10 are located in Pier A; Gates 1–9 are single-airbridge gates and Gate 10 is a twin-airbridge gate suitable for an A380 aircraft, but not two narrow body aircraft. |
|||
*Gates 15 to 18 are located in Pier B, and are twin airbridges gates, each capable of handling an A380 aircraft with simultaneous double-deck boarding, or two narrow body aircraft each in the A320 or B737 class. |
|||
*Gates 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 16A, 16B, 16C and 16D are bus gates used when passengers need to be transported to aircraft parked at remote stands. |
|||
*Gates 4A and 4B are located on the eastern side of Pier A, and 4C and 4D are located on the western side of Pier A. They are accessed from the lounge for gates 2 & 4. |
|||
*Gate 4E is used for groups requiring special handling such as sporting teams. |
|||
*Stand 19 is a remote stand located west of Pier B. In December 2015, the airport opened a new bus lounge in Pier B (gates 16A and 16B) for bussing to stands on the western apron, particularly stands 19 and 74–81. |

*Stands 70–73 and 82–84 are remote stands located to the east of Pier A. If boarding of aircraft is necessary at these stands, passengers are bussed from gate 4A or 4B. Stands 70–73 were also used by Jetstar regional flights from 2016 to 2019 and passengers were bussed from the domestic bus lounge (gate 62 and 63). |
|||
*Stands 74–81 are remote stands located to the west of Pier A. If boarding of aircraft is necessary at these stands, passengers are bussed from gate 4C or 4D, or 16A or 16B. |

====Passenger separation==== |
|||
In 1993, the [[Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand|CAA]] instituted the requirement that all international airports in New Zealand must keep [[Airside (airport)|airside]] departing and arriving passengers separate. Auckland Airport was granted an exemption to this rule, allowing the airside mingling of arriving and departing passengers to continue, on the basis that all international flights operating into Auckland originated from airports with adequate security screening. Following the [[September 11 attacks]] and further regulation by the [[ICAO]], the CAA required the airport to physically separate arriving and departing passengers by 2006.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Clark|first1=Helen|title=Auckland International Airport – opening of new facilities|url=http://www.beehive.govt.nz/node/24815|access-date=11 June 2015}}</ref> In the interim period until passenger separation was achieved, flights to the US as well as all Qantas, and for a short time Cathay Pacific, flights were restricted to departing from gates where a secondary X-ray and metal detector inspection was operating. |
|||
To physically separate arriving and departing passengers, Auckland Airport decided to build a new departure level on top of the existing one, with the existing floor becoming the arrivals level. The existing departure lounges were kept by installing glass walls to separate the waiting areas from the newly designed arrivals corridor, and escalators were installed to transport passengers from the new departures level down to each departure lounge. The modifications to the terminal were completed in December 2005,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Senguttuvan|title=Principles of Airport Economics|date=2007|publisher=Excel Book|location=New Delhi|isbn=978-81-7446-523-8|page=102|edition=First|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oQN4SZSbBsoC|access-date=11 June 2015}}</ref> and also involved the expansion of retail space within the pier by 600 square metres and an increase in the number of bus gates to four.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.beca.co.nz/projects/buildings/airports/pier_a_passenger_segregation_project_2.aspx |title=Pier A Passenger Segregation, Auckland Airport|publisher=Beca |access-date=11 June 2015}}</ref> |
|||
===Domestic terminal=== |
|||
The two previously separate domestic terminal buildings have now been connected by a common retail area. The Jetstar check-in area is located in the western end of the terminal, in the building previously used by [[Ansett New Zealand]], [[Qantas]], and [[Pacific Blue Airlines|Pacific Blue]]. The Air New Zealand check-in area is located in the centre of the terminal. There are nine gates that have jetbridges in the domestic terminal. |
|||
[[Jetstar]] domestic A320 services operate from gates 20–23 ([[jetbridge]] gates). Gate 24 (tarmac gate) is used by both Jetstar and [[Air New Zealand]]'s A320 aircraft. Gates 60–63 were used for Jetstar regional flights, with 62 and 63 being bus gates in a separate building at the Jetstar end of the terminal. Gates 20 and 21 were turned into 60 and 61 during peak regional times. Air New Zealand mainline services operate from gates 24–33. Gates 28 through to 33 all have jetbridges, while gates 25, 26 and 27 don't exist. [[Air New Zealand Link]] services operate from the regional section of the domestic terminal. This is located at the eastern end of the terminal and consists of gates 34–50 (excluding gate numbers 37, 38 and 44, which do not exist). These gates are linked to the terminal by covered walkways, and passengers walk across the apron to the aircraft. |
|||
Gates 51–59 are used by third-level operators [[Air Chathams]], [[Alliance Airlines]], and [[Barrier Air]]. Further to the east, gates 101–106 are used for Business Jets and long-term parking. |

Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) was formed in 1988, when the New Zealand Government corporatised the airport. It had previously been run by the [[Auckland Regional Authority]], covering the five councils in the Auckland region.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://corporate.aucklandairport.co.nz/about|title=About|website=AIACorporate|access-date=18 October 2017}}</ref> |
|||
The Government was AIAL's majority shareholder, the rest being held by the local councils. In 1998 the Government sold its shareholding, and AIAL became the fifth airport company in the world to be publicly listed. At that time the major shareholders were [[Auckland City Council]] (25.8 per cent), [[Manukau City]] Council (9.6 per cent) and [[North Shore City]] Council (7.1 per cent). North Shore City Council sold its shares in 1999 and Auckland City Council sold its share down to 12.8 per cent in 2002. After amalgamation into the [[Auckland Council]], the local authority owned a 22.4 per cent stake worth $1.13 billion as of May 2014.<ref>{{cite news |title=Auckland Council's investments grow |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/10067877/Auckland-Councils-investments-grow |work=Stuff |date=21 May 2014 |access-date=1 November 2014}}</ref> |
|||
AIAL appears on the [[New Zealand Stock Exchange]] ({{nzx|AIA}}) and Australian Stock Exchange ({{Asx|AIA}}). International shareholders hold around 40 per cent of the shares, domestic approximately 60 per cent. The company has a Standard & Poor's credit rating of A+/Stable/A-1.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.standardandpoors.com|title=Standard & Poor's|publisher=Standardandpoors.com|access-date=17 December 2014}}</ref> |
|||
As at 31 December 2015, Auckland Airport was the biggest listed company on the NZX, with a market capitalisation of $6.85 Billion NZD.<ref>{{Cite web|title = NZX Main Board {{!}} AIA|url = https://www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/securities/AIA|website = www.nzx.com|access-date = 31 December 2015}}</ref> |
|||
=== Revenue === |
|||
{{more citations needed section|date=June 2018}} |
|||
AIAL enjoys diverse revenue streams, and operates a 'dual-till' approach, whereby its finances are split into aeronautical and non-aeronautical balance sheets. Aeronautical income is derived from airfield charges, terminal services charge and the airport development charge (or departure fee). [[Non-aeronautical revenue]] comes from its significant property portfolio, car park, and retail income. Due to the airport having little-to-no competition, the aeronautical side of the business is subject to information disclosure requirements as set by the [[Commerce Commission]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://comcom.govt.nz/regulated-industries/airports/commissions-role-in-airports|title=Commission's role in airports|date=2018-04-03|website=comcom.govt.nz|language=en|access-date=2019-12-13}}</ref> Income from the non-aeronautical side of the business accounts for just over half of its revenue.{{Citation needed|date=October 2015}} The airport has been criticised by airlines, led by Air New Zealand, for its purportedly high [[landing fee|landing charges]]. Research conducted in September 2010 by aviation consultants Jacobs, however, indicates that Auckland Airport international charges are slightly below the average of the 20 largest international airports flown by Air New Zealand. |
|||
The diversity in revenue was of benefit during the downturn in international aviation following the events of 11 September 2001, and subsequently the [[2002 Bali bombings]], [[SARS]] outbreak and the [[Iraq War]]. The airport was able to rely on steady income from the non-aeronautical side of the business, which softened the blow of international events. |
|||
In July 2009 Auckland Airport elected to delay a scheduled increase in its landing charges from 1 July 2009 to assist its airline customers during the recession. The scheduled increase was put in place on 1 March 2010. The company has in the past reportedly been singled out by airline lobby group [[IATA]] for its consistent excessive level of profits. Airlines such as [[Air New Zealand]] complain of excessive landing charges.<ref>[http://iata.com/pressroom/speeches/2006-12-12-01.htm Remarks by Giovanni Bisignani – Global Press Briefing, Geneva: Auckland is an example] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080503095408/http://iata.com/pressroom/speeches/2006-12-12-01.htm |date=3 May 2008 }} (from an [[IATA]] press release, 1 December 2006. Retrieved 11 November 2007.)</ref> On 5 June 2007, the airport's 60 per cent profit margin was criticised by IATA director general and CEO Giovanni Bisignani. He said the airport had a "happy monopoly" and that IATA would ask the New Zealand government to investigate.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/1167863|title=Auckland Airport labeled greedy|publisher=[[TV New Zealand]], One News|date=6 June 2007|access-date=11 November 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071016203015/http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/1167863| archive-date= 16 October 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref> |
|||
Until July 2008, AIAL charged all departing international passengers (12 years old or older) a $25 departure fee. This has been replaced with a passenger services charge levied on the airlines for each arriving and departing international passenger. This charge has commenced at $13 and was planned to rise by 50 cents a year for two years to $14.<ref>{{cite news|last=Eriksen|first=Alanah May|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10513139|title=Airport departure tax to be axed|work=[[The New Zealand Herald]]|date=29 May 2008|access-date=17 December 2014}}</ref> |
|||
In 2012, Auckland Airport envisaged to cut the international passenger fee and hike the domestic travellers charges in FY-2013.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.3news.co.nz/Auckland-Airport-changes-fee-structure/tabid/421/articleID/256975/Default.aspx | title= Auckland Airport changes fee structure| date=7 June 2012|access-date=17 December 2014}}</ref> |
|||
===Partnership with Queenstown Airport=== |
|||
On 8 July 2010, AIAL announced it had entered into an agreement to take a 24.99 per cent shareholding in Queenstown Airport Corporation Limited, the operator of [[Queenstown Airport]], and form a strategic alliance between the two airports. The shareholding will cost NZ$27.7 million, through the issue of new shares. The alliance is expected to generate an extra 176,000 passengers through Queenstown Airport. AIAL has an option to increase its shareholding in Queenstown Airport to 30–35 per cent at any time up to 30 June 2011, subject to the approval of the [[Queenstown-Lakes District, New Zealand|Queenstown Lakes District Council]]. The new share capital from would allow Queenstown Airport to fund growth of the airport's operating capacity and to pay regular dividends back to the community via the Queenstown Lakes District Council shareholding.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Auckland-Airport-and-Queenstown-Airport-strategic-alliance.aspx |title=Auckland Airport and Queenstown Airport strategic alliance – Auckland Airport |publisher=Aucklandairport.co.nz |date=8 July 2010 |access-date=8 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101223012142/http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/AllMediaReleases/Auckland-Airport-and-Queenstown-Airport-strategic-alliance.aspx |archive-date=23 December 2010 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.queenstownairport.co.nz/business/media-and-downloads/auckland-airport-and-queenstown-airport-alliance|title=Queenstown Lakes District set to benefit from an alliance between Queenstown and Auckland Airport: Media & downloads of Queenstown Airport|date=8 July 2010|access-date=8 July 2010}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> |

==Ground transportation== |
|||
===Road=== |
|||
Two [[New Zealand state highway network|state highways]] connect to the airport; [[New Zealand State Highway 20|State Highway 20A and State Highway 20B]]. State Highway 20A leaves the airport to the north along George Bolt Memorial Drive and travels through [[Māngere]] as an expressway before joining [[New Zealand State Highway 20|State Highway 20]]. State Highway 20B leaves the airport to the east and crosses [[Pūkaki Creek]] before travelling along Puhinui Road to an interchange with State Highway 20 in [[Wiri]]. |
|||
===Public transport=== |
|||
* [[SkyBus (airport bus)|SkyBus]] express buses operate between both terminals at the airport and central Auckland and [[North Harbour, New Zealand|North Harbour]]. The terminus for central Auckland services is the [[Britomart Transport Centre]] via [[Mount Eden Railway Station|Mount Eden Station]] or [[Dominion Road]] and [[Queen Street, Auckland|Queen Street]]. The [[Westfield Albany]] mall is the terminus for North Harbour services via the [[Northern Busway, Auckland|Northern Busway]] with stops at the [[Akoranga busway station|Akoranga]] and [[Smales Farm busway station|Smales Farm]] stations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://business.scoop.co.nz/2018/06/08/new-skybus-north-harbour-airport-service-ready-to-go/|access-date=13 September 2018|title=New Skybus North Harbour Airport Service Ready to Go|date=8 June 2018|publisher=Scoop Independent News}}</ref> |

|||
====Rail proposals==== |
|||
{{main|Auckland Airport Line}} |
|||
A heavy rail connection from the airport to [[Auckland CBD]] was initially conceived as an extension of the [[Onehunga Branch]] line via [[Māngere Bridge (bridges)|Māngere Bridge]] and the suburb of [[Māngere]]. Another proposal was the construction of a heavy rail line to the east of the airport to connect with the [[North Island Main Trunk]] line near [[Puhinui Railway Station|Puhinui Station]], or the creation of a loop to connect the airport to both the Onehunga Line and the North Island Main Trunk Line. |
|||
The preferred option since 2016<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://at.govt.nz/media/1927342/draft-smart-indicative-business-case.pdf|title=SMART indicative business case|year=2017|website=Auckland Transport}}</ref> is an entirely new [[light rail]] line running from the airport to central Auckland via a direct alignment through Mangere, Onehunga and [[Mount Roskill]]. At Mount Roskill, it would connect to the planned [[Dominion Road]] light rail line<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/light-rail/|title=Light rail|website=Auckland Transport|access-date=10 November 2017}}</ref> which would continue on to [[Queen Street, Auckland|Queen Street]] in Central Auckland before reaching a final terminus in the [[Wynyard Quarter]] waterfront development area. |
|||
===Cycling=== |
|||
There are several cycle routes connecting the airport to the surrounding suburbs, consisting of both off-road tracks and on-road cycle lanes. |
|||

Public Transport in Fiji | |
---|---|
Overview | |
Locale | Fiji |
Transit type | Bus, Ferry, Taxi |
Public Transport in Fiji refers to the various modes of transportation available to the residents and visitors of the island nation of Fiji. The country's public transport system primarily consists of buses, ferries, and taxis.
History
Public transport in Fiji has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of the population. Early modes of transportation were limited, with most travel occurring by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carts. As urbanization increased and tourism grew, the demand for more organized and efficient public transport services emerged.[1]
Modes of Public Transport
Buses
Buses are a common mode of public transport in Fiji, connecting major cities, towns, and rural areas. These buses provide an essential lifeline for many Fijians, offering affordable transportation for daily commutes and longer journeys. Bus services often operate on scheduled routes and provide a crucial link between urban centers and remote communities.[2]
Ferries
Given Fiji's geographical characteristics, ferries play a significant role in connecting the various islands within the archipelago. Ferries transport both passengers and goods, serving as a vital link for inter-island travel. They are especially important for accessing more remote and less developed regions.[3]
Taxis
Taxis provide an on-demand mode of transport, offering convenience and flexibility to passengers. Taxi services are available in urban areas and near tourist destinations, providing an alternative to buses and ferries. While they tend to be more expensive than other modes of transport, taxis offer a door-to-door service for those who prefer personalized travel.[4]
