Perth Airport is the main gateway to Western Australia and a key hub for the resources sector. As the primary airport for the state, it serves both leisure travellers heading to Perth and its coastline and the large workforce that flies in and out for the mining and energy industries.

Overview of Perth Airport

Perth Airport lies around 10 km east of the Perth CBD and is operated by Perth Airport Pty Ltd. It handles around 17 million passengers a year and is a major fly-in fly-out (FIFO) hub for the resources sector, alongside its regular domestic and international traffic. Its time zone also makes it a convenient stepping stone between the eastern states and destinations in Asia and beyond. Perth is one of the most geographically isolated major cities in the world, which gives its airport an outsized importance for the region, and its steady mix of domestic, international and resources-sector traffic keeps the terminals busy throughout the day.

Popular Routes from Perth

Perth connects Western Australia with the eastern states and a range of international markets. Notably, Perth–London Heathrow is Qantas's first regular nonstop service between Australia and the UK, a marquee long-haul route that underlines the airport's role as a western gateway.

• Domestic: Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are among the busiest routes, keeping Perth well connected to the eastern capitals.
• International: Singapore, Denpasar (Bali) and Kuala Lumpur are popular connections, with Singapore and Kuala Lumpur offering onward links across Asia.

Fares and frequencies change, so verify details at the time of travel and compare carriers before you commit.

Airlines and Hubs

Perth is served by Qantas and Virgin Australia plus a range of regional carriers that support the FIFO network. International options include Emirates (operating the A380), Singapore Airlines and Qatar Airways (also A380), giving travellers strong long-haul choices and premium widebody comfort on key routes.

Terminals at Perth

The airport has four terminals across two separate precincts – T1/T2 and T3/T4 – which are linked by a free shuttle. Because the precincts are geographically apart, it is important to check which precinct your flight departs from before you set out and to allow time to move between them if your journey involves a transfer.

Getting To and From the City

The METRONET Airport Line rail connects the airport to the city, providing a direct and traffic-free public transport option into central Perth. A free inter-terminal shuttle links the two precincts, and taxis and rideshare services are available for those travelling with more luggage or heading elsewhere. Verify travel times at the time of travel.

Facilities at Perth Airport

Perth offers a full range of traveller facilities across its terminals.

• Airline lounges plus a choice of dining and retail options.
• Duty-free shopping in the international precinct.
• Charging points and connectivity throughout the terminals.

Because Perth serves a large fly-in fly-out workforce as well as leisure and international travellers, its terminals are geared to handle both early-morning and late-night movements. If your journey involves switching between the two precincts, remember that the free shuttle is the easiest way across, and allow a comfortable margin so a transfer never feels rushed.
