Auckland air traffic control tower replacement 2024

We are currently consulting on replacing the Auckland air traffic control tower which has been operational since the 1960 and is reaching its end of life.

We first consulted on the replacement of the Auckland air traffic control tower in 2022. Having undertaken significant work and further due diligence on the proposed solution, we have now amended our approach. Full details and rationale on the proposed approach are included in the attached consultation document.

Consultation closed on NZDT Friday 6 December 2024 (previously due Wednesday 4 December 2024). Six submissions were received. There was some differing interpretations to the information in the Airways consultation document and a clarification document has been prepared. Airways is discussing this with stakeholders and will invite revised submissions by no later than 3pm Friday 28 February.

Airways will consider all submissions received when making a final decision on the Auckland Tower replacement and implementation approach. Airways intends to communicate an outcome to customers and stakeholders by no later than the end of March 2025. A paper outlining Airways’ decision will be published on the Airways website along with all submissions.
