Airports

Departing from Adelaide

Flights from Adelaide Airport (ADL) land at the Townsville Airport (TSV). The flight can be as short as five hours with service on airlines such as Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia.

Getting to Adelaide Airport

Adelaide Airport is located relatively close to the city; only six kilometres away. Passengers driving themselves to the airport should allow for up to 20 minutes travel time from the CBD. There are also public bus services that can ferry you to the airport. An express bus, JetExpress, departs from Grenfell and Pulteney Streets and makes stops along Sri Donald Bradman Drive. Other JetBus services cover the Glenelg, West Beach and other areas. A single trip ticket on these buses is $5.50 if travelling before 9 am, after 3 pm and on Saturdays. This fare decreases to just $3.60 for travel between 9am and 3pm, and on Sundays and holidays.

  • Terminal car park: This is the closest park to the terminals. It connects to the terminals thanks to a sheltered walkway. The parking rate is $40 per day.
  • Long Term car park: Planning on spending a bit longer in Townsville? Use this outdoor lot to stash your car. It is a 10-minute walk away from the terminals and offers good value for longer stays. The cost is $31 per day or $104 for seven days.
