Auckland International Airport, which has just reported its third consecutive half-year underlying loss, says it is preparing for travel to resume after months of Covid-induced border closures.

The company announced this morning an underlying loss after tax of $11.5 million for the six months to December 31, worse than the $10.5m reported for the same period a year ago.
