AKL Airport Code: Auckland Airport IATA & ICAO

Auckland Airport (AKL) is stored for Auckland, New Zealand. ICAO NZAA. Timezone Pacific/Auckland. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

AKL is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Auckland Airport in Auckland, New Zealand (NZ). The matching ICAO identifier is NZAA. Travel agents see AKL on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example AKLLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO NZAA is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Pacific/Auckland. This code page explains how AKL is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for New Zealand: WLG (Wellington), CHC (Christchurch), ZQN (Queenstown). Related IATA city code in this dataset: AKL. To turn a booked PNR that contains AKL into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 AKLLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read AKL as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If AKL is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
