Perth Airport

Perth Airport (IATA code: PER, ICAO code: YPPH) is a public airport serving Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. It is located approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) east of the Perth central business district, falling within the boundaries of the City of Belmont, City of Kalamunda and the City of Swan.

There are four terminals at the airport- T1, T2, T3 and T4 - located at two terminal precincts: the T1/T2 precinct and the T3/T4 precinct. Terminal 1 (T1), the international terminal, caters for flights originating or departing outside Australia, with five jetways and a total of eight gates. Terminal 2 (T2) is located to the immediate southwest of T1. On the western side of the airport is the domestic terminal building, which is divided into T3 and T4.

The airport saw strong passenger growth from 2000 to 2012, primarily due to the state's prolonged mining boom and an increase in traffic from international low-cost carrier airlines. Passenger numbers trebled in the 10 years from 2002 to 2012 with more than 12.6 million people travelling through the airport in 2012. Since 2012, the winding down of the mining boom has seen the demand for both intra- and interstate services contract, with domestic passengers falling from a peak of 9.9 million (as of June 2013) to 9.5 million by the end of June 2016.
