Adelaide Airport is ranked the fifth busiest airport in Australia with more than 8 million passengers annually and is regarded as having one of the most modern terminal designs in the country. In October 2018 Adelaide Airport started construction on a $AUD165 million expansion of its main terminal, which will significantly upgrade international arrivals and departures, and create more retail and dining options for both domestic and international travellers.

There will be 30-month rollout of commercial opportunities linked to the expansion. The retail opportunities to be made progressively available represent a rare opportunity for retailers to establish a significant presence at one of Australia’s fastest growing airports across a broad range of categories from duty free and specialty retail to food & beverage, news/books and souvenirs.

Adelaide Airport has already released its Food & Beverage and Duty Free Requests For Proposal (RFP) for retailers seeking to be part of the airport’s significant terminal expansion. As part of the Duty Free Request for Proposal, Adelaide Airport is also encouraging prospective operators to consider bidding for domestic airside premium fashion sites, an international airside food and beverage site, and an international airside news and books site.

The terminal expansion will increase the terminal’s overall footprint by 16,500sqm. The total domestic and international retail footprint will increase by more than 80 per cent to 7,257sqm. International upgrades as part of the terminal expansion will also include a second, longer baggage belt for arrivals, more space for emigration and immigration processing and expanded security screening. The expansion project is due for completion in 2021.
