Parafield Airport

Intro

Parafield Airport  is located 18km north of the central business district of Adelaide and is surrounded by residential developments.

Parafield Airport was established in the 1930s and is a general aviation airport primarily used by light aircraft. For the past 40 years or so, a main function of the airport has been pilot training. Flight training now accounts for most of the airport’s aircraft movements.

Unlike Adelaide Airport, which has a curfew, Parafield Airport operates 24 hours a day but noise abatement procedures apply.

Parafield Airport provides useful community information on their website.

Information about Air Traffic Management and how airspace works is found on the Airservices Australia website here.
