Auckland Airport witnesses a record-breaking surge in US travellers due to increased seat capacity and airline competition. This summer, over 500,000 travellers are expected to fly between Auckland and mainland North America, up 56% from last summer. This growth is attributed to 12% lower fares on North American routes, which have been driven by the addition of new routes and carriers.
