Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) announced revised aeronautical pricing levels for the next five years. Landing charges for airlines are to increase by 2.5% p/a for the next five years coming into effect on 01-Sep-07. The last increase in landing charges occurred six years ago in Sep-01.

Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) has implemented a ten-year asset revaluation moratorium for aeronautical pricing purposes until 2017. The Airport Development Charge (ADC) will remain unchanged until 01-Jul-08, but will be renamed the "Passenger Service Charge" (PSC) and will be levied on the airlines. This will remove the need for passengers to pay the ADC at the airport, bringing the approach in line with almost all other international airports around the world.
