Perth Airport (IATA: PER, ICAO: YPPH) is the primary international airport serving Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and the busiest and largest airport in the state. The airport is located approximately 15 kilometres (9 miles) east of Perth’s city centre, in the suburb of Perth Airport.
Perth Airport is a major hub for Qantas, Virgin Australia, and Jetstar, and serves as a key gateway between Western Australia and destinations across Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The airport operates four passenger terminals divided into two precincts: T1/T2 and T3/T4, located approximately 10–15 minutes apart by road. A free terminal transfer bus connects the two precincts.
The airport has been in operation since 1944, when civil services commenced at the site then known as Guildford Aerodrome. It was granted international status in September 1952 and officially renamed Perth Airport in March 1953.
In the 2025 financial year, Perth Airport recorded its highest ever annual passenger numbers with 17.48 million passengers passing through its terminals, an increase of 8.5% on the previous year. International passenger numbers reached a record 5.14 million, up 18.3%, while domestic passenger numbers totalled 12.34 million.
