Adelaide Airport (IATA: ADL, ICAO: YPAD) is an international, domestic, and general aviation airport, and the principal airport of Adelaide, South Australia.
It is the fifth-busiest airport in Australia measured by passengers movements, servicing more than 8.5 million passengers in FY24,[2] and is located adjacent to West Beach, approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) west of the Adelaide city centre.[2] It has been operated privately by Adelaide Airport Limited under a long-term lease from the Federal Government since 29 May 1998.[3]: p 25
The facility covers a total area of 785 hectares (1,940 acres) of airport property.[4]
First established in 1955, a new dual international/domestic terminal was opened in 2005 which has received numerous awards, including being named the world's second-best international airport (5–15 million passengers) in 2006.[5] It was named Australia's best capital city airport in 2006, 2009, 2011[6], and 2024[7], as well as being named Skytrax World Airport Awards's best regional airport in the Australia-Pacific region in 2022 and 2024.[8]
