New Plymouth firm Clelands Construction has won the contract to build the city's new multi-million dollar airport building.
The terminal redevelopment will cost between $21.7 million and $28.7 million.
Clelands managing director Michael Braggins said local suppliers and contractors will be used where possible.
The current terminal was built in the 1960s to cater for 50,000 passengers a year but 440,000 travellers now pass through annually.
Construction is due to be completed at the end of next year.
