Development
Adelaide is the hub of small plane company Airlines Of South Australia, and from 2005 it will host the newly formed premium airline, OzJet, which aims to be the airline of choice for the inter-city commutes of business people. The airport operates primarily as a domestic airport, but also serves many international flights as well.
After a deal between the state and federal governments, as well as private enterprise, a new dual international/domestic terminal is to replace the outdated and long-serving domestic terminal at the end of 2005. The old terminal has been a subject of ridicule as a capital-city airport at which there were no air-bridges. However, with the opening of the new state-of-the-art (http://www.aal.com.au/) facility, Adelaide will boast the newest and most efficient aviation terminal in Australia. It will be one of the few airports able to accommodate the enormous Airbus A380, although there are no plans for the airport to be served by this aircraft.
