                                                   Airport






                                                        A new drop-off zone just for taxis at Adelaide
                                                        Airport is expected to significantly free up space
                                                        for other drivers picking up and dropping off
                                                        passengers.
                                                        Taxis will now drop passengers on Atura Circuit,
                                                        between the terminal and the Atura Hotel.
                                                        Taxis currently share the general drop-off zone
                                                        with all other cars and account for up to 30 per
                                                        cent of traffic at peak times.
                                                        “The front of the new taxi drop-off zone is
                                                        closer to the terminal than the existing drop-
                                                        off zone under the main carpark, so will be
                                                        more convenient for taxi customers,” said
                                                        Brenton Cox, the airport’s finance and corporate
                                                        executive general manager.

                                                        “A new undercover walkway will also protect
                                                        customers from the elements.

                                                        “Creating a new dedicated taxi drop-off facility
                                                        adjacent the terminal also frees up space in our
                                                        existing drop-off zone for other drivers.”

                                                        Taxi passengers will enter the terminal through
                                                        the northwestern doors next to international
                                                        arrivals and Hudsons Coffee.
