Member Spotlight Experience: Perth Airport – From Grass Runway to Global Gateway

Perth Airport is Australia’s Western Hub, connecting WA to 110 local, national and international destinations, via more than 30 airlines.

To meet current and future growth demands, Perth Airport has committed to a $5 billion dollar investment in new infrastructure projects that will deliver the long-awaited ‘One Airport’ masterplan and mark WA’s largest private infrastructure investment in history.

Join us for a breakfast briefing and airside tour on Friday, 14 August 2026 at Committee for Perth’s Member Spotlight Experience: Perth Airport – From Grass Runway to Global Gateway.

The transformation of Perth Airport will see the consolidation of all domestic and international services into an Airport Central precinct, providing a seamless airport experience delivering a world-class travel journey (and arrival) reflective of our world-class city.

As the fourth-largest airport in Australia by passenger volume, Perth Airport is a vital part of the community’s history and future. Servicing more than 18 million passengers and 160,000 aircraft movements in FY26, the airport supports the vital resource sector, tourism, trade, education and freight and logistics operations in and out of Western Australia.

The multi-year construction is a monumental development that includes new terminal facilities, a new parallel runway, multi-storey car parks and an airport hotel. Hosted by Perth Airport CEO Jason Waters and General Manager Retail Tony Sewell, this event will provide insights into the Airport’s growth journey, current operations and emerging infrastructure, and the impact these projects will deliver across Perth and WA.
