Auckland Airport is restarting work on a new loop road from its international terminal to meet projected post-Covid demand. The airport put the brakes on a number of infrastructure projects following the collapse in demand for air travel last year but says the new exit from the international terminal area for travellers will deliver a robust transport network to meet future demand. The $10 million project is due to be finished around the middle of the year.
