Airport Is Driver of Economic Growth According to a 2011 report commissioned by the Auckland International Airport Limited, the area in and around the Airport collectively known as the Airport Corridor will continue to be a major driver of growth for both the Auckland and national economies.
Key findings in the report concluded that employment within the corridor would nearly double from approximately 21,000 workers in 2011 to nearly 38,000 workers over the next two decades, and that the corridor would account for as much as 27% of the Auckland Regional economy and 19% of the total New Zealand economy by 2021.
