Find out about the new terminal development at Christchurch
International Airport.
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.
