Transformed from aerodrome to a modern airport, the terminal is replete with heart, soul and an eclectic collection of art that tells the story of the airports history, its significance to the region and nods to the heritage of aviation. The airport’s recently appointed Customer Experience & Marketing Manager Judi Godbold says that from a customer perspective the terminal’s internal space has something for everyone. The building takes its shape from the Kuaka bird. This incredible little bird flies from Alaska to New Zealand each summer to nest in the estuary next to the airport. The two sides of the building represent the wings, with guests arriving under the beak shaped roofline of the entrance. Carved panels overhead throughout the terminal are the cultural overlay of the building. They are a subtle yet elegant way of weaving in the cultural spirit of Hawke’s Bay into the building. “During the terminals development, we worked with Mana Ahuriri and Jacob Scott to create the whakapapa of the airport that are represented in the carved panels. There are approximately one hundred and fifteen carved panels above your head as you walk around the terminal that represent so much and tell wonderful stories.” The new airport terminal takes its shape from the Kuaka bird which flies from Alaska to New Zealand each summer to nest in the estuary next to the airport.
