Auckland

Auckland (icao: NZAA; iata: AKL) is New Zealand's busiest airport and the gateway for more than 70% of New Zealand's foreign visitors. Serving the largest population centre in the country and a major international and domestic hub, it sees a heavy flow of traffic throughout the day.

It has one active runway (05R/23L). Real-world, a new runway 05L/23R is being built north of the current terminal complex. Previously the main taxiway was used as the second runway when the main was out of service for maintenance, and this is reflected in some flight simulator sceneries: be advised that 05L/23R is available only as a taxiway on VATSIM - all flight operations are performed off 05R/23L.

Departures

Flights departing Auckland for overseas destinations can expect to be assigned one of the following departures depending on the active runway.

• Auckland Runway 05R: EMRAG ONE BRAVO (EMRAG1B) Oceanic Transition.
• Auckland Runway 23L: LENGU ONE ALFA (LENGU1A) Oceanic Transition.
