A Noise Abatement Procedure (NAP) is a procedure designed to reduce the impact of aircraft noise on the community.

Airservices Australia has the following NAPs in place at Adelaide Airport:

• Preferred Runway Use
• Preferred Flight Paths Part 1 Part 2
• Curfew Part 1 Part 2

Reporting is now available for:

• Preferred Runway Use Report

Additional reporting will be added to this site in 2025.

It is important to note that NAPs are not mandatory; Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilots apply the NAPs whenever possible. ATC and pilots will determine when critical operational requirements override the use of NAPs.

The overview below provides monthly movement numbers, runway end usage, and the types of aircraft operating at Adelaide airport.
