A dedicated taxi drop zone has been opened at Adelaide Airport, freeing up space in the existing area for other vehicles.
According to Adelaide Airport:
A new taxi drop-off zone will open at Adelaide Airport from 9.00am this morning to provide a dedicated facility for taxi drivers and their customers.
The new drop-off zone is located in Atura Circuit between the terminal and the Atura Hotel. Customers will be able to enter the terminal via the north-western doors adjacent Hudsons Coffee and International Arrivals. From there, customers can use the nearby escalator or walk down to the central lifts within the terminal to get up to the check-in hall.
The taxi drop-off zone is expected to significantly free up space for other drivers using the existing pick-up and drop-off zone. At peak times, taxis account for up to 30 per cent of all traffic entering the airport.
Customers wanting to catch a taxi when leaving Adelaide Airport should continue to use the existing taxi rank. Arrangements for ride share and chauffeur vehicles do not change.
