Auckland Airport has signed an agreement of ‘sister airport’ with Mumbai International Airport Limited.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mumbai Airport will see increasing international air links and tourism between and beyond both airports. Glenn Wedlock, general manager for aeronautical commercial with Auckland Airport said, “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% of these visitors entering through Auckland Airport, we consider India to be a very important market for us.”
Naveen Chawla, vice president for aero marketing at GVK Mumbai International Airport said, “In the dynamic aviation scenario, airports worldwide are seeing the benefits of closer ties through ‘sister’ agreements. Mumbai and Auckland are both leading gateways and the agreement would promote co-operation in developing the traffic flow between the two countries. The sister airport partnership between these two major gateways will also bring in best practices to improve services offered to passengers, airlines and other stakeholders.”
