Location

Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide Airport, officially Adelaide International Airport, is the primary commercial airport serving Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. Located approximately 7 kilometres west of the Adelaide CBD, it handles both international and domestic traffic under a single integrated terminal building. The airport is operated by Adelaide Airport Limited (AAL), which has held a long-term lease since 1998. It serves as a significant hub for regional South Australia and handles connections to major Australian cities as well as international destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and the Pacific. A major redevelopment program resulted in the opening of a new integrated terminal in 2005, consolidating domestic and international operations into one building and significantly modernising the airport's facilities.

Terminals

Adelaide Airport operates a single integrated terminal building handling both domestic and international passengers, with separate processing areas within the same structure.

Getting to & from

The airport is connected to the Adelaide CBD primarily by road, with the JetBus/SkyLink shuttle service and regular taxi and rideshare options; no direct rail link currently exists.
