Auckland International Airport in 1940 (where a container port is sited today)....

Meanwhile, Auckland Domestic Airport in 1940 was a grass airstrip known as Mangere Aerodrome, owned by the Auckland Aero Club and sited not far from today's Auckland International Airport. Union Airways leased part of the aerodrome from the aero club and had a hanger and small terminal building sited on it. Union Airways flew from Auckland to New Plymouth, Palmerston North (Milson Aerodrome), Wellington (Rongotai Aerodrome), Nelson, Blenheim (Omaka Aerodrome), Christchurch (Wigram Aerodrome) and Dunedin (Taieri Aerodrome).
