“Singapore Airlines was a ground-breaker in providing South Australians with one-stop connections to Europe and the UK, rather than having to backtrack via Sydney or Melbourne,” Adelaide Airport Ltd managing director, Mark Young said. “Back in 1984 there were just a small handful of international flights – now we have more than 50 departures during the peak summer period to multiple destinations and countries.”

John Harrison
says:Hope someone send a copy to Qantas HQ of this, to remind them how its done !!
Brett M
says:Congratulations Singapore Airlines and Adelaide Airport Limited. What a great milestone!
It’s a shame that Qantas’ provision of International services out of Adelaide hasn’t been as consistent.
