The airport is almost doubling its terminal footprint from 6,100m² to 11,750m², installing two new gates, and tripling the size of the domestic departure lounge from 1,250m² to 3,750m². The works are expected to be completed in 2027.
Australia’s involvement will include the contribution of a RAAF P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, as well as control staff, and Air Battlespace Management and Integrated Air and Missile Defence units.

The inaugural flight, VA218 to Melbourne, took off from Adelaide just before noon on Tuesday with two Chihuahuas on board alongside its human passenger contingent. Adelaide has now joined Melbourne, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast as a destination for the new services.

Flight VA127 took off aboard 737 MAX 8 VH-8IK (similar aircraft pictured) shortly before 4:30pm on Monday, with services to operate three times per week, adding more than 40,000 seats annually. Virgin now flies to Bali from Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast.
