    Financial Report 2020 Financial Statements This annual report covers the performances of Auckland International Airport Limited (Auckland Airport) from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020. This volume contains our audited financial statements. Overview information and a summary of our performance against financial and non-financial targets for the 2020 financial year are obtained in a separate volume, which may be accessed at report.aucklandairport.co.nz. 1 Financial report 2020 Introduction Auckland Airport is pleased to present the financial results for the year to 30 June 2020. This was a year of contrasting halves with the first half dominated by the company embarking on a historic period of infrastructure-related transformation and the second Financial report impacted by the travel restrictions put in place to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The eight-month period to February 2020 was a period of transformation for Auckland Airport, with key milestones reached in the airport infrastructure upgrade, including the commencement of four of our eight key anchor projects. Auckland Airport also focused on delivering meaningful customer improvements including launching new automated pre-security gates, the continued rollout of check-in kiosks and the completion of the international departures upgrade. International air connectivity continued to grow in the eight-month period to February 2020 with new or enhanced services launched to Vancouver and Seoul. Regrettably, domestic passenger volumes marginally fell during the first half reflecting increased yield management by airlines and the impact of Jetstar’s exit from regional services. Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent imposition of travel restrictions from February 2020, Auckland Airport took a number of decisive measures to withstand the challenging and unparalleled operating environment.

  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.

    RNZAF Sunderland Memories by Robin Klitscher Ref: http://rnzaf.proboards.com/thread/18188 http://www.5sqnassn.org.nz/ SUNDERLAND ON PATROL, NINETEEN FIFTYSOMETHING. PART 1 Flying Sunderland "boats" on maritime patrol seemed always to mean getting up at an unsociable hour. Perhaps because they cruised so leisurely, it was necessary to take off at the crack of dawn, or earlier, in order to be sure of doing anything very much before nightfall. Having arisen however reluctantly, the immediate purpose is to satisfy the engrossing hunger that is a part of such small hours. A sympathetic system makes available a breakfast of monumental proportions at the Combined Mess. Then to the squadron for briefing. Close-in, lights on the hard-standing reflect on the water in the pre-dawn stillness. Farther out, the water ripples in light airs coming down the channel. Ground crew are busy. Marine Section tenders fuss around the jetty, and ruffle the surface between shore and aircraft. The control launch is readying to put out. In the operations room the navigators plot the patrol on their charts. The weather will be mostly broken cloud, some showers, wind on average 350 degrees at 15 knots, except for a front lying across the route about five hours out. They hunch over their computers - not the modern digital variety, but a device with a circular slide rule on one side and a wind-and-course triangulation gizmo on the other. The flight engineers worry about fuel load and all-up weight; and the signallers about frequencies, morse keys and code books.
