First established in 1955, a new dual international/domesticterminalwas opened in 2005 which has received numerous awards, including being named the world's second-bestinternational airport(5–15 million passengers) in 2006.[4]It was named Australia's best capital city airport in 2006, 2009, 2011,[5]and 2024,[6]as well as being named Skytrax World Airport Awards's best regional airport in the Australia-Pacific region in 2022 and 2024.[7]

The facility covers a total area of 785hectares(1,940acres) of airport property.[8]

History

edit

An early "Adelaide airport" was anaerodromeconstructed in 1921 on 24 ha (59 acres) of land in Albert Park, nowHendon,which took over from theNorthfieldAerodrome. The small facility allowed for a mail service between Adelaide andSydney.To meet the substantial growth in aviation,Parafield Airportwas developed in 1927. The demand on aviation outgrew Parafield and the current site of Adelaide Airport was selected atWest Torrens(known as West Beach until 1991[9]) in January 1946.[10]An alternative site atPort Adelaide,including a seaplane facility, was considered inferior and too far from the central business district.[11]Construction began and flights commenced in 1954, with Parafield Airport being turned into a private and military aviation facility.

An annexe to one of the largehangarsat the airport served as a passenger terminal until the Commonwealth Government provided funds for the construction of a temporary building.[12]

Passengers boarding from the tarmac in December 1967; this continued for domestic passengers until 2006.

In May 1998, Adelaide Airport Limited purchased the long-term leases of Adelaide Airport and Parafield Airport from the Government of Australia. The consortium comprisedManchester Airport,Serco,UniSuperandMacquarie Bank.[13]As at December 2023, the shareholders of Adelaide Airport Limited wereUniSuper(51%),Hostplus(15%),IFM Investors(15%),Igneo Infrastructure Partners(15%) andPerron Group(4%).[14]

In July 1998, the runway was extended by 570 metres to 3.1 kilometres.[15]In October 2005 a dual-use facility replaced both the original domestic and international terminals.[16]The old domestic terminal was closed shortly after the new terminal was opened to flights and was demolished not long after. A new control tower was built west of the current terminal with the old control tower maintained for additional operations.

In October 2006, the new terminal was named the Capital City Airport of the Year at the Australian Aviation Industry Awards inCairns.[17]In March 2007, Adelaide Airport was rated the world's second-best airport in the 5–15 million passengers category at theAirports Council International(ACI) 2006 awards inDubai.[18]

Plans were announced for an expansion of the terminal in July 2007, including moreaerobridgesand demolition of the old International Terminal.[19]

On 5 August 2008Tiger Airways Australiaconfirmed that Adelaide Airport would become the airline's second hub which would base two of the airline'sAirbus A320sby early 2009.[20]On 29 October 2009 Tiger announced it would be housing its third A320 at Adelaide Airport from early 2010.[21]Tiger Airways later shut down its operations from Adelaide only to recommence them in 2013.[22]

In 2011 the airport encountered major problems during theeruption of Puyehue volcano in Chile.The ash cloud caused flights to be cancelled nationwide, with over 40,000 passengers stranded in Adelaide.[23]

On 11 October 2022, it was discovered that at around 10am local time, security screening equipment had failed half an hour earlier, leading to the evacuation of the terminal and re-screening of approximately 2,000 passengers.[24]

In 2023,Jetstarbased two of theirAirbus A321LRat Adelaide.

International

edit
Qatar Airways has served Adelaide Airport daily since 2016

International services became regular from 1982 upon the construction of an international terminal, with airlines such asBritish Airwaysserving Adelaide Airport in its early years.[25]: 60 

The original international terminal had only two aircraft bays and a single jetbridge, with limited space for passengers. Check-in desks were small and waiting space was limited. It was replaced in 2005, and demolished in 2018 to make way for expanded landside facilities and a future expansion of the main terminal.[26]

On 18 December 2018,Singapore Airlinesupgraded their Singapore to Adelaide flight from theAirbus A330-300to the newAirbus A350-900fitted with their dual-class regional configuration.[27]

Fiji Airwaysalso upgraded their newBoeing 737-8 MAXaircraft on theNadito Adelaide route,[28]but due to thegrounding of the 737 MAX aircraft,switched to theBoeing 737-800.

In late 2018 and early 2019,China Southern,Cathay PacificandMalaysia Airlinesincreased their services to Adelaide Airport to accommodate the increase in demand.[29]

AntonovandAtlas Airfreighters make yearly appearances at Adelaide Airport, despite not being a major cargo hub

The airport is also a heavy cargo destination forVolga-Dnepr Airlines[citation needed],who require 2,500 m (8,200 ft) of runway for theAntonov cargo plane.[citation needed]

Over the financial year 2018–2019, Adelaide Airport experienced passenger growth of 7% internationally and 1.3% for domestic and regional passengers[29]from 2017's quarterly report;[2]this added up to a new record number of passengers who passed through Adelaide Airport at 8,090,000 over the financial year. Adelaide Airport also experienced the greatest international growth out of any Australian port.[2]

In July 2020,Emirates,China Southern and Cathay Pacific announced their suspension of services to Adelaide Airport due to travel restrictions caused by theCOVID-19 pandemic.Emirates announced they would return to Adelaide on 28 October 2024.[30]

In December 2021,Qantaslaunched a direct non-stop service from Adelaide toNew Delhi,mainly as a stopover for flights toSydneyandMelbournedue to a shortage ofBoeing 787aircraft at the time. This was the first time Qantas had flown a non-stop international flight from Adelaide since the discontinuation of their Singapore to Adelaide route in 2013.[31]

In October 2023, Adelaide Airport released its 2050 Network Vision, in which the airport hopes to have direct flight connection to 39 global cities, with some notable destinations includingLos AngelesandJohannesburg,as well as the return ofLondonamong others. In order to achieve this the airport is planning a significant expansion of its current facilities to cater for more international flights.[32]

On 28 October 2024, it was reported thatEmirateshad resumed their popular non-stop route betweenDubaiand Adelaide.[33]Additionally,China Southern Airlinesalso resumed their direct route betweenGuangzhouand Adelaide. Both routes were initially launched in 2012 and 2016 respectively, but were ceased in 2020 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[34]

Present terminal building

edit

The airport was redeveloped at a cost of $260 million and opened 8 October 2005.[35]The redevelopment was managed by buildersHansen Yuncken.Before the redevelopment, the old airport terminal was criticised for its limited capacity and lack of aerobridges.[citation needed]

Proposals were developed for an upgraded terminal of world standard. The final proposal, released in 1997, called for a large, unified terminal in which both domestic and international flights would use the same terminal. A combination of factors, the most notable of which was the collapse ofAnsett Australia,then aduopolydomestic carrier withQantas,and the resultant loss of funds for its share of the construction cost, saw the new terminal plans shelved until an agreement was reached in 2002.[citation needed]

View of the arrivals hall

The new terminal was opened on 7 October 2005 by the Prime MinisterJohn Howardand South Australian PremierMike Rann.However, Adelaide Airport Limited announced soon afterwards that only international flights would use the new facility immediately due to problems with thefuelpumps and underground pipes. These problems related initially to the anti-rusting agent applied to the insides of the fuel pumps, then to construction debris in the pipes. Although international and regional (from December 2005) aircraft were refuelled via tankers, a lack of space and safety concerns prevented this action for domestic jet aircraft, which instead continued operations at the old terminal. The re-fueling system was cleared of all debris and the new terminal was used for all flights from 17 February 2006.[36]The new airport terminal is approximately 850 m (2,790 ft) end to end and is capable of handling 27 aircraft, including anAirbus A380,simultaneously and processing 3,000 passengers per hour.

The current mixed use terminal includes several high-amenity airline lounges over two levels. Level one includes the Plaza Premium international lounge adjacent to the international security check-in, exclusively for international passengers. On level two,Virgin AustraliaandRex Airlinesoperate lounges for domestic passengers.Qantasoperate their signature 'Qantas Club' lounge complex opposite gate 21 in the main terminal departure lounge. It is open to domestic and international business class qantas passengers and qantas club membership holders, as well as business class passengers of partneredOneworldalliance member airlines. As of 13 June 2024, a multi-million dollar refurbishment of the lounge complex is underway and capacity is restricted. As announced byQantasin 2022, the new lounge complex will emerge as the 'Qantas Lounge Precinct', with the addition of a separate 'Qantas Business Lounge', along with the fully refurbished 'Qantas Club' and 'Qantas Chairmans Lounge' which will open in stages from late 2024. The 'Qantas Business Lounge' will welcome its first passengers in mid-2025. The terminal check-in hall provides 42 common usercheck-indesks and 34 shop fronts. Freewireless Internetis also provided throughout the terminal byInternode Systems,a first for an Australian airport.[37]

In 1919, the Australian government offered £10,000 for the first All-Australian crew to fly an aeroplane fromEngland to Australia.Keith Macpherson Smith,Ross Macpherson Smithand mechanics Jim Bennett and Wally Shiers completed the journey fromHounslow Heath AerodrometoDarwinvia Singapore andBataviaon 10 December 1919. TheirVickers Vimyaircraft, affectionately known as "God 'Elp All Of Us", is preserved in a purpose-built climate-controlled museum inside the grounds of the airport at34°56′29.2″S138°31′59.5″E/ 34.941444°S 138.533194°E/-34.941444; 138.533194(Vickers Vimy Museum).[38]Due to relocation of the terminal buildings, the museum is now situated inside the long-term car park. In 2019, the state and federal government committed $2 million each towards a new preservation facility inside the airport's $165 million terminal expansion.[39]

In February 2011, a A$100 million building program was launched as part of a five-year master plan, including a new road network within the airport, amulti-storey car park,increasing short-term parking spaces from 800 to 1,650 (completed August 2012[40]); a new plaza frontage for the passenger terminal (completed March 2013[citation needed]); a walkway bridge connecting new car park and existing terminal building (completed March 2013[citation needed]); terminal concourse extension; three new aerobridges; terminal commercial projects and passenger facilities; relocation of regional carrier Rex.[41]

In July 2013, Adelaide Airport became the first Australian airport and second airport worldwide to haveGoogle Street Viewtechnology, allowing passengers to explore the arrival and departure sections of the airport before travel.[42]

A new control tower, at 44 metres (144 ft) high, more than twice the height of the old tower built in 1983 and costingA$16.9 million,was completed and commissioned in August 2013.[43]

In January 2015, theAdelaide Airport Master Plan 2014was approved by the Commonwealth Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development.[44]

In September 2016, a relocation and major upgrade was completed for the base of the central service region of theRoyal Flying Doctor Service.[45]The base houses manyPilatus PC-12and onePilatus PC-24,maintenance hangars and ambulance bays.[46]

The Atura Hotel (37 m [121 ft] tall, nine levels) was completed in September 2018.[47]

In late 2018 and early 2019, Adelaide Airport commenced a $165 million terminal expansion project, increasing the length of the terminal, adding more duty-free and shopping outlets, and increasing international capacity. The upgrades are set to be completed by 2021. The old international terminal was also demolished in 2019, after lying empty for many years.[48]

In early 2020, Adelaide Airport opened a newly updated concourse which was finished in December 2019,[49]New Shops include Penfolds Wine Bar & Kitchen, Precinct Adelaide Kitchen, Soul Origin, Boost Juice, Lego Kaboom and Airport Pharmacy. In October 2023 it was announced that the Penfolds Wine Bar & Kitchen would close and be replaced with the ADL Grounds Bar.[50]

Lucerne to cool runways

edit

A world-first project that lowers runway temperatures by growing commercial crops irrigated by recycled water was trialled at Adelaide Airport, with the first trial completed in 2019. By planting 4 hectares (9.9 acres) of various crops and testing the effects of each on runway temperature,SA Waterscientists found thatlucernewas most successful, leading to a reduction of an average 3 °C in average ambient air temperatures on warm days, in and around the irrigation areas. Not only was the lucerne the best performer compared withtall fescue,couch grassandkikuyu,but it can also be cut intohayand sold as stock feed. The plant growth habit of lucerne also lends itself to deter birds, with research suggesting "if you have a nice thick crop of lucerne over the top of the soil [the birds] can't actually get to the soil and the movement of the crop in the wind also spooks them." Preliminary trial results suggest that lucerne treatments saw no increase in bird species. The Airport is creating abusiness caseto extend the project to cover 200 hectares (490 acres) of airport land.[51]

Qantas formerly operated dedicated 'flightseeing' services over Antarctica from Adelaide. These flights, which originally used aBoeing 747-400,[66]then aBoeing 787 Dreamliner,departed Adelaide from the international/domestic terminal, and provided a guided aerial tour of Antarctica before returning to Australia. These flights were about thirteen hours in total.[67]
