Auckland Airport has been voted sixth favourite airport in the world by the UK readers of Condé Nast magazine.
"Auckland Airport is working hard to represent our country, be uniquely kiwi, outstanding and welcoming in all that we do," chief executive Simon Moutter said.
"We compete globally and being ranked so high by discerning readers who travel far and wide is really encouraging that we're on the right track.
"This award also acknowledges the contribution of many other organisations that play a role in running the airport - airlines, ground handlers, border agencies, shops, restaurants and cafes," Moutter said.
Readers vote on cleanliness, design, layout and lounges, pre and post-flight facilities, shopping, food, restaurants, flight information and clarity of signs.
