Adelaide Airport

Adelaide Airport, the major gateway to South Australia with approximately 7 million passengers a year, is committed to minimising its environmental footprint and achieving 100% regulatory compliance whilst being an industry leader in environmental sustainability. It has an internationally recognised carbon program, in 2013 becoming the first airport in Australasia to receive Level 1 Airport Carbon Accreditation under the independently assessed global program run by Airports Council International (ACI). Accreditation to Level 2 was obtained in 2014, in recognition of Adelaide Airport’s success in reducing carbon emissions.
