Mumbai: Auckland Airport has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mumbai Airport to form a ‘sister airport’ relationship. The airport sistership has been established with objectives that include increasing international air links and tourism between and beyond both airports’ respective countries, as per a release.
Glenn Wedlock, General Manager Aeronautical Commercial, Auckland Airport, said that the sistership is important as India is a key market for New Zealand and is a key focus for Tourism New Zealand over the next three years. “With over 31,250 Indian visitor arrivals to New Zealand in the last 12 months, and over 80 per cent of these visitors entering through Auckland Airport, we consider India to be a very important market for us. The Indian travel market also represents a huge growth opportunity for New Zealand tourism,” he said. “Our Ambition 2020 strategy targets 69,000 Indian arrivals by 2020, which is equivalent to 14 per cent growth per annum over the next six years,” he added.
