DATA SPOTLIGHT: Adelaide Airport

3 September, 2020

This year The Blue Swan Daily will feature some of the leading airlines, airports and country markets for air travel. Here, using the extensive profile insights available to CAPA - Centre for Aviation members, we deliver a data snapshot on Adelaide Airport, event partner for this week's CAPA Australia Pacific 2020 Aviation Summit.

Normally the fifth busiest airport in Australia, the key gateway to South Australia has seen passenger and traffic levels fall beyond -90% over the past few months, a far cry from the more than eight million domestic and international passengers in normally handles on an annual basis, including important links into the Asia Pacific and Middle East.

Passenger numbers had more than doubled since the airport was privatised in 1998, while international passenger numbers more than quadrupling over the same period to more than one million. Now they have fallen to just a trickle as Australia maintains restrictions on international travel.

For its 2019/2020 financial year, parent Adelaide Airport Limited saw overall passenger traffic decline by -24.1%, due to the impact of Covid-19 on travel during the second half of the year, highlighted in fourth quarter performance where there was an overall decline of -95.6% in passenger traffic as a result of continued travel restrictions, both domestically and internationally, which significantly impacted the quarter's performance.
