Essential Runway Works

Adelaide Airport Ltd (AAL) advises that Runway 05/23 (running south-west / north-east) will be closed during curfew hours (11pm to 6am) between Monday March 15 and Friday March 19, 2010 for urgent maintenance ahead of essential re-surfacing works scheduled for later in the year.

As a result, aircraft arriving and departing during these times will use Runway 12/30 (running north-west / south-east), commonly referred to as the cross-runway.

Residents living to the north-west and south-east of Adelaide Airport may notice a slight increase in air traffic from aircraft that have permission to operate during the curfew period for purposes such as freight, postal and emergency medical services arrivals and departures. Runway re-surfacing is an important part of Adelaide Airport's maintenance program to ensure the safe operation of aircraft.

The major re-surfacing program will be carried out from October 2010 to March 2011.
