Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Perth Airport (ICAO: YPPH / IATA: PER)
Location (City, Country)
Perth, Australia
Airport Type & Size
Perth is a major international and domestic airport in Western Australia, currently serving as a key connector in the Oceania region. The airport has 4 terminals (2 on each side of the runway), a large general aviation area, and is about to undergo major expansion — including new terminals and a new parallel runway.
It operates over 100 aircraft stands, mainly Category C, but with 25–30 stands suitable for E and F aircraft. Around 6–7 are shared stands that can be split into two C bays. Most stands are remote. Additionally, there is a large general aviation sector that operates aircraft like Dash 8s, Fokkers, and Embraers using stands not included in the terminal total.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Adding Perth would fill the current C/D size airport gap between SYD and BKK. It would enhance gameplay in the Oceania region and provide more realistic routing options. It’s also an airport with interesting infrastructure, ongoing expansion, and a strong mix of commercial and general aviation operations.
