NEW ZEALAND. Concession Planning International (CPI) has been appointed to provide specialist airport commercial planning input into the NZ$1.8 billion (US$1.3 billion) Auckland Airport redevelopment project.
The airport appointed a consortium led by Mott MacDonald to complete the redesign earlier this month.
A number of infrastructure projects, which will run between 2018 and 2022, aim to transform the passenger experience at the New Zealand airport. The goal is to create co-located international and domestic terminals, offering considerable operational and customer service benefits, Auckland Airport said.
As part of this, CPI will focus on delivering the optimal commercial scheme for future users of the new facilities.
“Our role is to support the airport management and the project team in developing a new, distinctive Auckland Airport experience that marries their customer experience ambitions with their need to deliver a solid commercial return on their investment,” said CPI Australia Managing Director Susan Gray.
“Auckland Airport has a very clear vision. We’re really looking forward to working with the team to create the airport of the future.”
Auckland Airport General Manager Retail and Commercial Richard Barker commented: “Auckland Airport is looking forward to working with CPI as we know that they will challenge our thinking and bring their global experience to the table, so that we deliver an offer that will delight our customers and be commercially very successful.”
