<p class="blog-para">In early 2014, the airport released their 30-year vision for the future, which envisaged the airport to combine both the international and domestic operations into one combined building based around the existing international terminal. This will see new domestic piers built to the south of the existing international precinct within the next 5 years. The plan also allows for the extension of the current international piers and also the creation of new piers for international operations. A new 2,150 metres long northern runway will be able to cater for aircraft up to the size of the 777 and 787 jets. New public transport links including a new railway station and line may be built in the future. The plan has been split into four implementation phases. Phase 1 will see all operations combined into one terminal precinct as well as improved road network surrounding the terminal within the next five years. Phase 2 sees the new northern runway constructed as well as the extension of the terminal forecourt by 2025. Phase 3 involves the extension of both international and domestic piers by 2044. Phase 4 sees the northern runway extended to a length of around 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). From the 2015 Annual Report, work will commence on extending Pier B in the current financial year. This project will allow for three more gates to be built. This will double, from three to six, the number of A380 aircraft Auckland Airport can accommodate at any one time. Also, it will increase the number of B787-9 aircraft that can be accommodated from six to nine. This development has been requested by airlines for greater capacity, in the future 4 more gates will be built on the northern side of Pier B. In early 2022, construction will begin on a new domestic terminal that will merge onto the existing international terminal to the east.</p>

<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 pt-5">Ground Transportation from Auckland International Airport</h2>
<ul class="blog-ul">
<li class="blog-li"><strong>Road: </strong>Two state highways connect to the airport; State Highway 20A and State Highway 20B. State Highway 20A leaves the airport to the north along George Bolt Memorial Drive and travels through M─üngere as an expressway before joining State Highway 20. State Highway 20B leaves the airport to the east and crosses P┼½kaki Creek before travelling along Puhinui Road to an interchange with State Highway 20 in Wiri.</li>
<li class="blog-li"><strong> Road Public transport: </strong>SkyBus express buses operate between both terminals at the airport and central Auckland and North Harbour. The terminus for central Auckland services is the Britomart Transport Centre via Mount Eden Station or Dominion Road and Queen Street. The Westfield Albany mall is the terminus for North Harbour services via the Northern Busway with stops at the Akoranga and Smales Farm stations.</li>
</ul>
<p class="blog-para">Road The Airport Link is a Bus Rapid Transit-lite service that connects the airport to Puhinui Railway Station. This service is the first stage of an eventual full BRT line from the Airport to Botany Town Centre</p>
<p class="blog-para">Road Park Ride bus service is available for short-term and long-term parking. It is located 10 - 15 minutes from the domestic and international terminals. The park and ride service is also used by the majority of airport staff.</p>
<ul class="blog-ul">
<li class="blog-li"><strong> Road Rail proposals:</strong> A heavy rail connection from the airport to Auckland CBD was initially conceived as an extension of the Onehunga Branch line via M─üngere Bridge and the suburb of M─üngere. Another proposal was the construction of a heavy rail line to the east of the airport to connect with the North Island Main Trunk line near Puhinui Station, or the creation of a loop to connect the airport to both the Onehunga Line and the North Island Main Trunk Line.</li>
<li class="blog-li"><strong> Road Cycling: </strong>There are several cycle routes connecting the airport to the surrounding suburbs, consisting of both off-road tracks and on-road cycle lanes.</li>
