Perth Airport is expected to be processing more than 20 million passengers by 2030.
To deliver the required infrastructure and capacity to cater for this significant growth, Perth Airport has embarked on once-in-a-generation transformation which will realise the long-held vision for One Airport for Western Australian travellers.
The scale of what will be built is unprecedented.
Over the next decade, Perth Airport will deliver a new runway, new terminal facilities, two multi-storey carparks with major road upgrades, and the first on-airport hotel.
This will see the capacity and efficiency of Perth Airport grow and in turn will underpin more growth in aviation, tourism and hospitality, the resources sector, and international business and education links.
When Perth Airport grows, the Western Australian economy grows.
This is a critical investment in Western Australia’s future.
Perth will have a world-class airport experience for travellers while delivering the capacity and efficiency airlines need to grow their connections into Western Australia.
The new terminal facilities will reflect the confidence and character of Western Australia- providing an impressive first welcome as well as a lasting impression to the millions of passengers visiting this great State.
Bringing everything into one precinct will create ‘one airport’ for all flights. This will make the whole experience more intuitive and simpler.
It will also help boost regional tourism as it will make it easier for connections between international, interstate and regional flights.
Travellers want their airport experience to be as smooth as possible, from arriving at the airport, to moving through check-in and security, to waiting for their flight to board.
The new terminal facilities will cater to a diverse range of different travellers’ needs and expectations.
Many travellers want to feel the buzz of the excitement of a journey about to begin. Some will be looking for a range of quality, affordable food and beverage or retail outlets. Others will be looking for more quiet, reflective areas to help lower the stress levels. All of these aspects will be catered for.
Building new and upgraded terminal facilities provides an amazing opportunity to cater for passengers of all abilities and remove the barriers to travel that some people experience.
The airport has also committed that both the construction and operations of the new facilities will be sustainable and environmentally responsible. This will include measures to reduce water and energy use, and to also reduce the amount of waste generated.
Not only will these projects deliver benefits to Western Australians when they become operational, the construction timeframe will also provide significant and tangible benefits to the economy and the people of Western Australia.
Early estimates are that these works will create around 4,000 - 5,000 new jobs over the next decade. Perth Airport will be a hive of activity, and at the end of the works, Perth will reap the benefits of having one airport for combined domestic and international travel.
Perth Airport will be a modern facility that will provide a first-rate customer experience from train or carpark to boarding gate – a great result for airlines, passengers and for Western Australia.
