EXTERNAL ANALYSIS PESTEL Analysis will be used to look at the external environment of the Auckland International Airport. It is a suitable tool used to understand the “big picture” of the surroundings in which the Airport Industry operates and it also allows the organization (Auckland International Airport) to benefit from the opportunities and diminish the threats faced by their organization.
