Have just made some updates to reflect some changes but am not sure how to include the relevant references (PDF documents and media releases) - will consult with someone more technically minded than myself and will update Llew44 (talk) 07:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Some of the recent changes seem to include various opinions realting to the arrangement of the terminal areas. I propose to remove these opinions in the next few days unless some evidence can be provided.
I will also re-arrange the topics into more appropriate subtopics. Murray Langton 10:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
There is nothing wrong with the new information which gives a comprehensive overview of the international terminal.
Err take a look. Most of the stuff just talks about the layout of the terminal. The only subjective POVs are all backed up by verifiable sources, e.g. newspaper articles anyway.
So according to you sources such as airport press releases and newspapers are not "verifiable sources"; that is so funny.
Done. Sorry, didn't realise you meant referencing as in hyperlinking.
Auckland International Airport is currently rebranding itself to simply Auckland Airport. I thought waiting a bit before moving the page, if at all. Opinions? Loud noises (talk) 12:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
The route connections map seems a bit strange to me - which airline flies Londong-Auckland DIRECT? Without stopovers? Ingolfson (talk) 02:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Why is it still there? The airline hasn't said anything about adding Auckland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.148.98.116 (talk) 10:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Those claiming EK does not serve DXB from AKL are kindly invited to check EK's timetable out. There are three different daily flights, each starting at AKL and ending at DXB, one with a stopover at MEL (flight 407), one with a stopover at SYD (flight 413) and the other with a stopover at BNE (flight 435).--Jetstreamer Talk 10:25, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
As with other airport pages on Wikipedia, only direct and non-stop destinations should be listed, regardless of the flight number. You cannot fly to Dubai direct and non stop from Auckland
Removed Cairns from Jetstar's list of destinations as this service was discontinued after a second season — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.199.51 (talk) 06:20, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
http://airlineroute.net/2011/10/11/jq-aunz-nw1/ I challenge you to find a NON STOP flight between Auckland and Cairns on www.jetstar.com and I will back down from this.
For a long time, this section has been solely for routes to/from Australia because information for other airports has not been available. Although it appears that data is now available for Honolulu and Dubai, this section should not have become a 'busiest international routes' section, as it is now inaccurate. To be accurate it would need to display the 10 busiest international routes, not the 8 busiest Australian routes plus two others. Proof of this inaccuracy is that according to the table, AKL-Sunshine Coast (with just over 1000 passengers a year) is the 10th busiest international route. The table suggests that 8 of the 10 busiest routes are ones to/from Australia, which is not correct. So, in order to retain accuracy, I have changed it back to 'Busiest Routes to/from Australia'. OakleighPark (talk) 08:51, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
The destinations map is quite old, and is contains several inaccuracies. Previously, these were dealt with by explaining the inaccuracy in the caption below, but it has now got to the point where the map needs to be sorted out. I tried editing the map, but I can't find the font that was used. So, does anyone know what font was used, or if not, should we create another map from scratch?
The map only includes international destinations and doesn't include charters. Seasonal destinations didn't exist from AKL when the map was made, so we are going to have to decide whether to include them. Personally, I'd be inclined to say that we should include them because they are each served by regular commercial services for a sizable portion of the year. In the past, issues have arisen over the difference between non-stop and direct flights and which one the map should show. The solution was to include all direct services, and mention in the caption if they included stops. OakleighPark (talk) 04:22, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
We will again need to update the map soon. Andrew may be able to help with this. Cities to add are Manila, Beijing, Houston and the return of Buenos Aires all in December.CHCBOY (talk) 05:07, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
The destination map has been updated this year so is a valid contribution to the page so should stay until a consensus is reached on its removal. Open for discussion. CHCBOY (talk) 22:42, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
References
mainly @CHCBOY - Re Flight Hauraki and whether this entry should be in the destinations list. To me WP:AIRPORT-CONTENTis clear that these should not be listed. These flights are clearly ad hoc, private, and irregular. The same also goes for "Mountain air".
Also expanding on this question I have real reservations whether the Air New Zealand Japan and Pegasus Field (which hasn't happened yet) charters should also be listed. Christchurch Airport also has this issue. I have had a look around at other airports and the general trend I can see from the discussions of others is that charters are not normally listed as per the Aviation WikiProject guide listed above.

Hi, I think there should be a new section about the above topics at AIA, to include stuff like Taxi driver pay/fees issues and a rotating hunger strike http://www.nzherald.co.nz/auckland-airport/news/article.cfm?o_id=15&objectid=11250751 and residents complaining about percieved increased noise around the airport due to changed flight paths http://www.nzherald.co.nz/auckland-airport/news/article.cfm?o_id=15&objectid=11264548 . I found some vaguely-relevant articles on NZH which I linked, but those may not be completely relevant. Junh1024 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:17, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
This service is not a resumption. United last served Auckland in 2003 from LAX not SFO as per https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/29761977/united-airlines-to-resume-auckland-flights/. So therefore, this is a new service as it will fly to SFO. But on the United Airlines destinations page, Auckland is a resumption destination as already marked.

There is a slowburning edit war over the inclusion of this being mentioned in the prospective flights section. On one hand the removals have been totally unexplained so reverting these is probably justified. On the other hand the reference supporting these prospective flights is very very weak. I think I would prefer this to be removed until some solid announcement by the airline is made but am open to suggestions. Andrewgprout (talk) 06:41, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
The airline has solidly announced the service, beginning June 2, 2016. http://www.wsj.com/articles/american-airlines-announces-new-route-to-new-zealand-1447222465 is one source, can it be now moved to the regular service area? 144.9.56.131 (talk) 17:10, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
This flight has for a long time been in the destinations box - as a direct one stop same plane same flight number service. Of late this has a couple of times been removed due to this flihgt being via Papeete.
WP:AIRPORTS says "..avoid listing direct flights that contain a stop at a domestic hub, as virtually all of these are simply flights from one "spoke city" to a hub, with the plane continuing from the hub to a second spoke city." My reading of this (there is a reason the authors of this sentence said avoid rather than don't) is that in a true Airline Hub many flights are routed into and out of the hub for no other reason but convenience and there is no expectation that many people will truly use this flight as a direct connection to the further destination. This appears especially true in large US hubs where often the flight numbers continue on but nothing else including the aircraft does. This is however not the case here.
1. Air Tahiti Nui has only three destinations from Papeete, Auckland, los Angeles and Tokyo. Three routes does not make an Airline hub 2. The Tokyo flight which is entirely Japanese holidaying in Tahiti and has no connecting traffic to Auckland or Los Angeles - It would be a long way out of the way. 3. And the Auckland - Papeete - Los Angeles flight, carries people going to Tahiti but also many people connecting to Los Angeles. ie the only connecting passengers ie the thing that makes a hub a hub are from the very service people want removed. Oh the irony. 4. The flight number and presumably the plane is the same for the whole flight. 5. Direct flights to Los Angeles are actively marketed as such from NZ to LAX.
So I think there is ample evidence that Los Angels should be reinstated as a destination from Auckland. Andrewgprout (talk) 06:33, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
There has not been a formal policy at WP:Airports that these are not allowed. Also as many other airport pages still have them included there should be a consensus reached for there removal first. We have had this brought up on here before but the agreement in the past was to allow them to stay in the article.CHCBOY (talk) 19:47, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

An editor has persistently changed the inauguration date of an Air Canada seasonal route that will apparently be launched from Vancouver to Auckland on 12 December 2019. It's bad enough that the editor used two blogs for sources, but he/she is also interpreting from them that the date of the inaugural return flight (Auckland to Canada) is 14 December. This date is not mentioned in the sources. This is WP:SYNTHESIS and was identified as such in a revision by another editor. Akld guy (talk) 06:58, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, is there better source for NZ airport statistics ? "Table: Total passenger movements by NZ port and selected closest overseas ports (Annual-Dec)" http://archive.stats.govt.nz/infoshare/SelectVariables.aspx?pxID=97e5ce16-4942-44e6-9c8b-46f99a0fbe2b The way it is presented is slightly odd. --Bouzinac (talk) 14:53, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
@Gbrkk:Although perhaps it will not now happen - Air New Zealand's flight to New York will fly to EWR which is an airport just across the Hudson from downtown Manhattan. Of late a couple of editors have insisted the destination of this flight to Newark - which is absolutely where the airport is. However nowhere in Wikipedia do we make similar destinctions about destinations. We don't say Crawley for Gatwick, or Renfrew for Glasgow or Mangare for Auckland etc etc etc and etc - and all of those places are further from their named city. Why is New York different? The destination is and will be marketed as and refered to as New York by anyone who is going there.Andrewgprout (talk) 04:19, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
