A Thirsty Concern at Adelaide Airport
Adelaide Airport, always attentive to travellers’ needs, discovered a concern through a 2016 survey. They learned travellers felt there was a lack of accessible drinking water amenities. The survey highlighted a missing piece in the travel puzzle: no designated area to refill water bottles before catching a flight.
