Auckland Airport Capital Development Program – restarting and reshaping
In early 2020, AIAL was at the advanced stage of planning for a NZ$4bn+ capital program – transforming aging assets to deliver a world-class travel experience and support sustainable long-term growth. The program has now been reshaped, in partnership with key stakeholders, reflecting the four key pillars of AIAL’s sustainability strategy: Purpose | Kaupapa; Place | Kaitiakitanga; People | Whānau and Community | Hapori. This presentation will give an overview of the updated program, from the agile approach to the development of the original plan to the evolution of the plan in response to current realities.
