Adelaide International Airport is located next to West Beach, South Australia. It serves Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. Although owned by the Commonwealth Government, the airport is managed independently by Adelaide Airport Limited (AAL). Adelaide International Airport processes in excess of 5.4 million passengers annually, which is set to grow by 6 percent with the new terminal .

First opened on 16 February 1955 the airport is built on land once used for market gardens. The construction also bisected an arterial road to West Beach. The airport took over from Parafield Airport as the main airport for Adelaide. Parafield being a smaller airport now mainly used for small aircraft, pilot training and recreational aviation. The first aircraft to land at Adelaide Airport was a DC-3 registration VH-CAO on 16 December 1954 flown by the Department of Civil Aviation (now the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) to ensure that the airport was ready to use.

The airport operates under a curfew from 2300-0600 which limits (but does not totally prohibit) aircraft movements.^* Adelaide Metro operates a frequent bus service, JetBus, from the terminal via Adelaide CBD out to the suburbs of Modbury and Elizabeth along the O-Bahn.
