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.

My Interest in Auckland AirportI 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.
