Recent Development
As of 2011 a series of developments are either underway, approved or proposed for Adelaide Airport. In February 2011 a A$100 million building program was launched as part of a five year master plan. The developments which have been made public (whether part of the building plan or not) are listed below:
- New airport road network (set to improve traffic flow)
- New multi-storey car park (will increase short term parking spaces from 800–2,000)
- New passenger terminal plaza frontage
- Walkway bridge connecting new car park and existing terminal building
- Terminal concourse extension
- Three new aerobridges
- Terminal commercial projects and passenger facilities
- Relocation of regional carrier Rex
- Relocation of old transportable charter aircraft operators' terminal
- New control tower (twice the height of current tower, will cost A$16.9 million)
- Increasing the amount of international airlines serving airport (are apparently looking into: China Southern Airlines, Thai Airways International, Garuda Indonesia, Vietnam Airlines, AirAsia X, Scoot Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways as well as some United States operators)
- Adelaide Airport Hotel (37 m (121 ft) tall, nine levels)
The new control tower will open in early 2012. The multi-storey car park is scheduled for completion by May 2012. The plaza frontage and walkway bridge should be completed by November 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
