The '20-Minute City'

Complete ease of access and communication supplied by a safe environment and excellent cost effective infrastructure.

Adelaide’s accessibility has always been positively received by convention organisers and delegates. In how many other major cities can delegates arrive at the airport, check into a five star hotel within half
an hour, be adjacent to an internationally acclaimed convention centre and just minutes from beautiful beaches and wineries? 

Adelaide’s modern airport terminal, with state of the art facilities and sweeping views of the hills and beyond, ensures an exceptional welcome to South Australia. 

Located just 15 minutes from Adelaide’s central business district and minutes from the city's famous beachside suburbs, Adelaide Airport is arguably the most conveniently located of all Australia’s capital city airports. Conference delegates visiting Adelaide are assured a quick, easy and inexpensive journey into the city centre. Indeed, Adelaide Airport has become the most efficient passenger terminal in Australia, winning numerous quality service awards both nationally and internationally. 

Adelaide enjoys high frequency, direct flights with Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Qantas Airways, Cathay Pacific and Tiger Airways, conveniently connecting Adelaide to Asia and beyond. Air New Zealand operates direct between Adelaide and Auckland, connecting Adelaide to New Zealand and the United States. 

Adelaide’s central position on the continent ensures the most convenient gateway to the rest of Australia. Fast, frequent and affordable connections to all major domestic destinations with the major domestic carriers Qantas Airways, Virgin Blue, Jetstar Airways and Tiger Airways. 

The Adelaide Convention Bureau appreciates that facilitating group air travel can involve numerous tasks for the event organiser. To help make this a hassle-free experience, assistance with obtaining visas and advice on customs and immigration is readily available. Added to this there is also the option of personalised group procedures, such as designated check-in, event signage and delegate information points. Getting to your desired destination has never been easier. 

Adelaide continues to see a growth of airline services in and out of the destination. In November 2008 Pacific Blue started a twice-weekly service to Bali. Further to this, Garuda have also announced a resumption of services to Bali later in the year. In addition, the State Government and Adelaide Airport are also in discussions with a number of new carriers, several of whom are sending strong signals that services to Adelaide will commence in the next 12-18 months.
