Perth Airport (PER) has commenced a major expansion and upgrade of Terminal 2 as part of its multi-billion-pound investment programme. The works include new self-service check-in facilities, an expanded passenger screening area and departure lounge, and an extension to the baggage make-up hall. Design work to upgrade the southern passenger walkway is also underway.
Perth Airport Chief Executive Officer Jason Waters said the upgrades are a timely investment in response to significant passenger growth. “These works are critical to support our growing regional passenger base as it will almost double the passenger capacity within Terminal 2. We’ve seen significant growth of regional passenger numbers with an increase of 3.7 per cent on last year seeing numbers grow from 6 million to 6.24 million. This growth is positive for the Western Australian economy and the resource and regional tourism sector and showcases the importance of Perth as an aviation hub.”
Mr Waters added that the expansion aims to enhance the customer experience and support airline partners with improved capacity and efficiency. “With these changes and upgrades, passengers will see significant construction works within the terminal which may cause some inconvenience. We will be working with our partner contractor Hoskins on complex staging and logistics to ensuring minimal disruption throughout construction. As part of a major Capital Project works programme to enhance the passenger experience at Perth Airport, we are also building new car parks, roads, and upgrades to our retail and food & beverage offering, all within a live operating environment.”
