Available free from the Apple App Store, the official Auckland Airport iPhone App has been created to provide the most important and relevant travel information to passengers and airport visitors.
Designed to offer travellers one easily accessible mobile source for reliable information, the App provides everything from flight times, gate numbers, security rules and airport maps, through to car park booking, important contact numbers and information regarding facilities and retail offerings.
“At Auckland Airport we are always looking for ways to make journeys better,” said Auckland Airport Acting General Manager – Retail & Commercial Paul Divers. “This App will provide iPhone users with a fast and efficient way to access travel information, helping them to be better prepared for their trip and to ensure they have a quick and easy experience through the airport.
“One very appealing feature of the App is “˜My Flight’, which allows passengers to keep a track of the time and where they are required to be in their departure journey,” said Divers.
“”˜My Flight’ also includes a flight departure countdown with status updates, what gate the flight departs from, and when the passenger needs to be going through security or heading to the gate.”
The App also assists travellers in planning their trips by providing information on what should be packed in their luggage and what can be carried through security.
To download the Auckland Airport App for free, iPhone users can visit the Apple App Store, search for Auckland Airport and look for the black and white “˜A’ icon.
“We welcome any feedback or questions from users of the App and this can be done using the App itself,” said Divers.
FOOTNOTE: The Moodie Report will soon be announcing details of the second annual version of “˜The Moodies’ – the world’s first airport-specific digital, mobile and social media awards. Covering airports overall, airport travel retail and airport food & beverage, The Moodies proved a resounding success in their first year, attracting nearly 170 entries, in a wide range of categories including Best Facebook Page, Best Mobile App, Best Website and Best Use of Digital Media on the Concourse.
The awards will be presented at The Trinity Forum 2014, details of which will also be announced soon.
