Auckland Airport to expand domestic main security screening operation

Auckland Airport and the Aviation Security Service expect to have this expanded screening operation in place shortly. Auckland Airport general manager aeronautical operations, Judy Nicholl, said, "We're pleased to advise that we are expanding the security screening area in the centre of the domestic terminal. In essence we will be enlarging the screening area by taking over adjacent space currently occupied by some airport retail partners, knocking down some walls and refitting the space for the Aviation Security Service to install additional screening machines." "Work will be completed with minimum disruption to passengers, and installed, tested and fully operational ahead of the commencement of Rugby World Cup 2011."
