Parafield Airport is on the edge of the residential suburb of
Parafield, South Australia, 18 kilometres north of the Adelaide
Central business district (CBD) and adjacent to the Mawson Lakes
campus of the University of South Australia. It is Adelaide's
second airport and the fifth busiest airport in Australia by
aircraft movements. Although owned by the Government of Australia,
the airport is leased to and managed independently by Parafield
Airport Ltd.
Parafield was Adelaide's only civil airport until Adelaide Airport
was opened in February 1955 and is currently used for small
aircraft, pilot training and recreational aviation. The airport is
home to the Parafield Aviation campus of TAFE South Australia (TAFE
SA) and to the UniSA Aviation Academy. The airport hosts a jet
fighter museum and historic aircraft displays. The museum now
houses an authentic flight worthy Wirraway There are also multiple
flight training schools like the University of South Australia
Aviation Academy, FTA (Flight Training Adelaide), Bruce Hartwig
Flying School, AFTC (Adelaide Flight Training Center) and Forsyth
Aviation, which is the only school that offers training for the
Recreational Aviation Australia pilot certificate at Parafield.
Parafield Squadron of the Australian Air League, a National
uniformed cadet organisation promoting and encouraging the interest
of aviation and flying training in the youth of Australia, is also
located at Parafield Airport.
