Adelaide Airport

Adelaide Airport is the major airport in South Australia and caters for international, domestic and regional air services, as well as helicopters, the Royal Flying Doctor Service and other aerial services.
Prior to 1988, Adelaide Airport was owned and operated directly by the Commonwealth Department of Transport.
From January 1988 to May 1998, ownership was passed to a Commonwealth government business enterprise, the Federal Airports Corporation. The Commonwealth still owns the airport, but leased it to a private sector consortium operating as Adelaide Airport Limited in May 1998 on a 50 plus 49 year lease. This was part of the Commonwealth Government's effective privatisation of the national network of capital city gateway and major regional airports during 1996-98.
Adelaide Airport Limited is now responsible for the operation, maintenance, planning and development of the airport.

Parafield Airport

Parafield Airport is Adelaide's secondary airport providing primarily general aviation, pilot training and aircraft maintenance services. This airport was privatised at the same time as Adelaide Airport and was leased to Parafield Airport Limited, which is responsible for the operation, maintenance, planning and development of the airport. For further information please visit the Parafield Airport website. http://www.aal.com.au/parafield/default.aspx

 

Regional Airports

There are over 400 regional airports and airstrips within South Australia
Of these

  • 8 receive scheduled regional airline services
  • 40 generate significant amounts of commercial charter services
  • 72 cater to occasional commercial charter services as well as providing emergency access to remote parts of the State.

    The remainder consist primarily of airstrips on pastoral or mining leases serving private interests and Mt. Ive is one of these.

    Prior to 1991, most regional airports of significant size in South Australia were owned and operated by the Commonwealth. These were progressively transferred to Local Government ownership over a long period, with the process completed in South Australia in 1991. Apart from Adelaide and Parafield Airports, only Woomera and Edinburgh airports and 4 minor airstrips remain in Commonwealth ownership within the State.
