Dropping off passengers at Adelaide Airport

Dropping off passengers at Adelaide Airport

Every great journey starts with a smooth send-off and on occasions a fond farewell.

Test

At Adelaide Airport, we offer simple, stress-free drop-off options so you can wish your travellers well and get them on their way with ease, whether it’s an early-morning business trip or the holiday of a lifetime.

Our drop-off zone is easy to find — it’s right between the Terminal Car Park and the Terminal plaza. As you enter the airport, just follow the signs for Drop-Off and you’ll be guided straight to the right spot. Our friendly team will be on hand to point out a safe place to pull in. 

For a clear view of where to go, check the map before you travel.

Tips for a smooth drop-off

1

Check your passenger’s flight status on our Flights page before you leave.

2

Follow staff directions to the nearest safe drop-off spot.

3

Always pull over to the left curb — never stop in the right-hand lanes.

4

If your passenger isn’t ready, do a lap and re-enter the zone.

5

Stay with your vehicle at all times to avoid fines or towing.

You’re welcome to accompany friends or family right to the gate at Adelaide Airport. To do so, you’ll need to pass through security screening, just like passengers. Once inside, you can relax, enjoy a meal, or share a coffee while you wait for them to board. 

If you’re arriving by car, we recommend our ‘Meet and Greet’ parking option, which gives you up to 2 hours for $14 when booked online in our P1 Terminal car park. It’s just a few minutes' walk from the terminal making it quick and easy to get inside. You’ll guarantee a spot and get the best deal by booking in advance. And we know plans change so you can cancel or amend your booking up to 2 hours before arrival via our Manage My Booking page
