‘We have developed not only the lounge, but also digital options for meeting organisers to publicise their event through the terminal, and to welcome their delegates from across the country and the world.

‘We are the international gateway, with 12 partner airlines preparing to reconnect us directly to 25 destinations as the border reopens, with extensive trans Tasman schedules and our southern welcome.’
