SkyBus Auckland City Express is Getting Quicker

As a leading provider of Airport transfers, SkyBus is excited to announce a new direct, quicker service between Downtown Auckland and Auckland Airport.

Starting Sunday 25 April, Auckland City Express will travel via the North Western Motorway and the Waterview tunnel. This new non-stop route will provide shorter travel times, saving up 40 minutes by entering and exiting the CBD via the quickest and most reliable route. Downtown stops have also been simplified to three convenient locations near the city’s major transport hubs and attractions.

The new and improved route will offer a genuinely direct, low-cost transport option between the City and the Airport that can be enjoyed by Aucklanders, business travellers and tourists alike.
