Viva Energy Australia
Viva Energy is one of Australia's largest aviation fuel suppliers (95+ airports) and was one of three co-owners (with BP and Mobil) of Adelaide's former Joint Operated Storage Facility (JOSF) per a Productivity Commission submission. CORRECTION: Adelaide Airport acquired that storage infrastructure outright in Dec 2021 (now the Adelaide Airport Aviation Fuel Facility, AAAFF) and contracted Skytanking - described by Adelaide Airport as 'independent of fuel supply' - to perform into-plane fuelling there; Viva Energy's role as a current ADL fuel brand/supplier (vs into-plane agent) was not, so the draft's 'confirmed operating 24 hours...into-plane fuelling' claim is downgraded to unconfirmed. General aviation contact: 13 16 18 (Mon-Fri 8am-8pm AEST), •••; Fuel2Sky is Viva's real aviation fuel card product.

Air BP (BP Australia)
BP Australia Pty Ltd was one of three co-owners (with Viva Energy and Mobil) of Adelaide's former Joint Operated Storage Facility (JOSF) per a Productivity Commission submission (subdr121-airports.pdf). CORRECTION: Adelaide Airport acquired that storage infrastructure outright in Dec 2021 (now the AAAFF) and contracted Skytanking to perform into-plane fuelling there; Air BP's role as a current ADL fuel brand/supplier (vs into-plane agent) and the draft's specific '1830-1330 UTC' hours / card-payment claim were not (ERSA/AIP not accessible), so status is downgraded to unconfirmed rather than dropped.

Skytanking Australia (PrimeFlight Aviation Services)
NEW - not in draft. Adelaide Airport's own aviation-fuel infrastructure page names Skytanking as its partner to operate and maintain the Adelaide Airport Aviation Fuel Facility (AAAFF, two 1.4M-litre Jet A-1 tanks plus AVGAS storage), with services including into-plane fuelling, storage and hydrant system management. Confirmed by Skytanking's own Adelaide (ADL) station page (Fred Custance Street, Adelaide Airport; AAAFF Manager Mark Mugford) and by PrimeFlight's Nov 2023 press release on acquiring Rivet Energy Aviation, which 'will add...into plane fueling services at Adelaide Airport' to Skytanking's existing ADL tank-farm management role.

Toll Priority (Team Global Express, formerly Toll Group)
CORRECTED PARENT: the draft's "Toll Priority (Toll Group)" attribution is stale. Toll Group sold its Global Express division (including the Toll Priority and Toll IPEC brands) to Allegro Funds in 2021; it rebranded to Team Global Express in 2022 and operates the Toll Priority brand under a transitional licence. Business-directory listings confirm the depot is still active at 10 Butler Bvd, Adelaide Airport SA 5950 ("Toll Priority Adelaide / Team Global Express"), phone 13 15 31.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Wilson Security
REPLACES the draft's MSS Security entry: the draft's only ADL-specific evidence for MSS Security was a FIFO mining-security job that merely uses Adelaide Airport as a transit point, not an on-site aviation-screening role, so MSS is dropped as unsupported for this station. Wilson Security operates a dedicated "Wilson Aviation" screening division (wilsonsecurity.com.au/sectors/aviation-airport-security) and has a substantial, sustained volume of on-site job postings specifically at Adelaide Airport SA •••+ concurrent listings across SEEK/Jora), strong circumstantial evidence of an active on-site aviation-security screening presence; the exact contract/licence was not independently pinned down, so recorded unconfirmed rather than omitted.

Hotel & travel Unconfirmed
Atura Adelaide Airport (EVT Hotels & Resorts)
Confirmed as a real hotel built into the Adelaide Airport precinct (1 Atura Circuit) with a covered walkway link straight from the domestic/international check-in areas, developed by Event Hospitality & Entertainment (EVT). Room count is inconsistently reported across EVT's own pages - aturahotels.com states 165 rooms over seven floors, evt.com/property states 65 rooms - not resolved. A specific airline crew-accommodation contract was not independently confirmed in sources found; the on-terminal walkway connection is the pattern typical of contracted crew hotels, so recorded unconfirmed rather than omitted.
