Default Adelaide Airport - a model of efficiency

Hi all,

a few weeks back on a friday arfternoon i was departing Adealide for Melbourne and noticed that my flight had already left. Photos are not great - from the phone but it had most people confused:

Time is 14:03
Virgin Flight to melb is due to depart at 15:05
Flight is showing as departed!

I always thought they were a bit behind in Adelaide but this proves that theory wrong!

I think ADL has one of the nicest terminals in OZ

Jon B,

It must of been a glitch in the system, it happens everywhere. I bet it happens at most airports, but nobody reports. But because it has happened in Adelaide and we are classified as backwards it had to be reported.

As long as you got your flight that is all that matters. if passengers were confused all they had to od was to go to the gate and ask one of the ate staff what was going on.

Granted, Adelaide is backwards in some areas. But our airport is one of the best in the country (not for movemnts though).

Sure we don't have the number of movements like Sydney or Melbourne, but we do get our fair share of interesting movements.

By interesting movements you mean an EK 77W diversion once in a blue moon!

FWIW, the T2 departure boards at YSSY above the food court have been similarly consistently incorrect many times I have used that terminal over the years - particularly with updated data.

We have had our fair share of movements the past couple of year, which infact have made a few spotters in other states jealous.

They include: 2 xIL96 freighters and the Qatar C17.

We get our fair shar of bizjets, mostly american but we do get the odd one from time to time.

Yes we do get diversions, we have had some good diversions this year.

Don't just assume Adelaide gets nothing special . You would be suprised how much we do get over the course of the year. Even the stuff that lives here is pretty good as well. Alliance F50's , a heap of BAE146's and RJ100's.

If you don't like us, don't come here. We do not need people like you who constantly have a go at Adelaide airport and the lack of stuff it gets.

Feel free to have a go at the average design of the terminal, though. What were they thinking with the car park? It's finally being fixed, but wow... what an abomination.

The positioning of travelators inside the terminal is also kinda weird.
