Auckland is served by Auckland Airport (AKL), the country's largest and busiest airport, located about 21 kilometers south of the city center. The Britomart Transport Centre, officially known as Waitematā Station, is the central transport hub in downtown Auckland, connecting train, bus, and ferry services.
Auckland Airport (AKL) is the primary gateway, offering direct international and domestic flights. Major airlines like Air New Zealand, Jetstar, Qantas, China Eastern, and LATAM operate routes to Auckland from numerous cities globally and within New Zealand.
InterCity is New Zealand's largest public bus network, providing extensive routes across the country. FlexiPass and TravelPass options can offer cost savings.
The Britomart Transport Centre is the central train station for Auckland's commuter rail network, connecting various suburban areas. The City Rail Link, expected to open in 2026, will further enhance train connectivity in the city center.
Ferry services operate from downtown Auckland's ferry terminals, connecting to various islands in the Hauraki Gulf, such as Waiheke Island, Great Barrier Island, and Rangitoto, as well as several coastal communities. Prices vary by destination and operator (e.g., Auckland to Waiheke Island by Fullers 360 or SeaLink costs around $72 for a passenger, taking about 40 minutes).
