New Terminal

Perth Airport is Australia's Western Hub connecting the people, businesses, and communities of Western Australia with the rest of Australia and the world. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year, Perth Airport plays a significant role in providing economic, social, and cultural benefits to West Australians.

Perth Airport is investing more than $5 billion in new infrastructure to support our airline partners to grow, offering more services to new destinations and an improved customer experience.

Over the coming decade, we will expand T1 International and build new domestic terminal facilities, a parallel runway, two multi-storey carparks, and our first airport hotel. This will deliver one airport for the people of Western Australia which will host all flight services in a central location, giving passengers a seamless, world-class travel experience.

The Perth Airport estate is spread over 2100 hectares and has developed a $1.5 billion portfolio of existing industrial premises and significant vacant land holdings.

We service a truly diverse community and play an important role in strengthening cultural, family, and social bonds while supporting business, tourism, and leisure travel.
