Auckland International Airport has managed to bounce back following the return of international travel.

A sharp increase in both domestic and international passengers enabled the company to report their first profit since the pandemic.

CEO Carrie Hurihanganui says the airport still requires upgrades, and they're confident the forecast growth will support these developments. 

"After 10 years of consultation, and 21 concept designs benchmarking worldwide, we are confident in regards to the forecast growth- which airlines had an input into."
