Hawke’s Bay Airport Car Park Upgrade: Better, Brighter, Safer!

We’re continuing our commitment to improving your airport experience with the next phase of our car park upgrade project, focusing on the Main Car Park.

Construction begins on Monday 4 August 2025 in the Main Car Park.

What you need to know?

– Some areas of the main car park adjacent to the terminal (not the P120) will be out of action to allow resurfacing work to take place
– All work will be carried out during the day
– Work will continue in sections across a three-month period (weather dependant)
– Pedestrian crossings will be open for accessibility
– More parking spaces can be found at the Southern End of the car park, turn left upon entry to the Main Car Park.

When the work is complete, travellers can expect a smoother, safer and more accessible car park, with key improvements including:-
– A smooth surface for driving, walking, wheeling suitcases, or pushing trolleys, prams or wheelchairs
– Cleaner, clearer line markings
– Better connected pedestrian crossings

 

Please allow a little extra time, stay alert to signage and temporary closures, and take care while navigating the site. We thank you for your patience and consideration as this important work is completed.

What’s Been Completed So Far

Phase 1, completed in late 2024, focused on the Pick-Up and Drop-Off (P120) Area. Upgrades delivered include:-

– A clearly defined one-way system
– New drive-in slant parking bays
– A smoother car park surface
– Improved traffic flow
– Clearer, safer pedestrian crossings
– Refreshed line markings throughout the area

This project is part of a long-term investment in our facilities to support a safer, more efficient airport for all Hawke’s Bay locals and visitors.
