Perth Airport is planning a new terminal as part of its long-term expansion, with the proposed 159 000sqm facility set to become the airport’s main gateway.
The terminal will be nearly three times the size of Terminals 3 and 4 combined and 25% larger than Terminals 1 and 2 combined.
The project will add 22 new contact gates to accommodate a variety of wide- and narrow-body aircraft, including ‘swing gates’ that can switch between international and domestic operations.
Once the terminal is completed, passengers will benefit from a range of features, including automated check-in and bag drop, call-to-gate initiatives that minimise queues at gates, and a shared security checkpoint for domestic and international passengers.
The new terminal will also include 10 000sqm of retail, dining and hospitality offerings, sensory and multi-faith rooms, a playground and parent rooms, and a central landscaped courtyard.
