Westralia Airports Corporation, owner and operator of Perth Airport, has revealed further details of the $700 million expansion of the domestic and international terminals.
The new $120 million Perth domestic terminal located adjacent to the international terminal has been designed to meet the needs of air services for regional Western Australia, including the booming mining towns.
Some 11.5 million passengers travelled through Perth Airport during FY 10/11, which saw domestic growth increasing by 9.6 percent and international by 9.1 percent.
Skywest, Alliance Airlines, Strategic and Tiger Airways will relocate to the new terminal in early 2013. Qantas and Virgin will remain in the current domestic terminal, which will be refurbished.
In addition to the new domestic terminal, there will be a major expansion of the international terminal with a new arrivals area and domestic pier, improved transport links, expanded car parking and increased capacity for more aircraft.
Construction of the international terminal expansion will commence later this year.
