Terminal Development Plans & Webcam

Your New Terminal

With large passenger lounges, extra seating, improved passenger flows and enhanced retail and cafe areas, the new terminal will offer a first class airport experience.

Upon completion, Christchurch International Airport will offer combined domestic and international check-in counters, retail areas and arrivals hall, and will provide passengers with an environment that is simple to use and navigate through.  Passengers will be able to check-in, drop off their luggage, and then continue to the departure area on Level One.
