Auckland International Airport is New Zealand’s largest airport and one of the country’s largest listed companies. It is considered New Zealand’s gateway, with more than three-quarters of international visitors to New Zealand and around 21 million passengers passing through its gates a year (2019 figures, the last full year pre-Covid).
To date we have focused our reviews of Auckland Airports' performance on the pricing events that occur at least every 5 years.
We have now commenced work on our review of Auckland Airport’s performance for the period 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2027. Our review will include analysis of Auckland Airport’s pricing decisions and expected performance over the price setting event four (PSE4) period.
We provided analysis of Auckland Airport’s second price setting event in our report to Ministers. This report was a one-off requirement under section 56G of the Commerce Act and was required as soon as practicable after any new price was set in or after 2012. The report considered whether information disclosure regulation had been effective.
