Auckland International Airport Ground Transportation Map (2025)
With this Auckland International Airport Ground Transportation Map, you can spot exactly where to meet or drop travellers without confusion.
Auckland Airport (AKL) has separate forecourts for domestic and international terminals, which are linked by a free shuttle and a pedestrian walkway. That’s why it helps to know which zone—Express, Pick-up, or Valet—matches your plans.
The map shows lane layouts, access roads, and the designated wait areas outside each terminal. Look for “Drop Off Only” or “Pick Up” signs on the curb and follow the blue “Transport” arrows from Arrivals to the forecourt exits.
