:chart_increasing: 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 β€” 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.

:vertical_traffic_light: 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.

Historically a base for a high number of Fokker 100 aircraft in Australia. Operates some of the world’s longest flights including:

  • Perth – London (LHR)
  • Perth – Rome
  • Perth – Paris

These would support long-haul connectivity within the WoA network.

May I ask why was this post closed for few days and then opened again?

When someone marks a post as being a solution (it seems anyone can do it, which is a slight issue for stuff like this) the system automatically closes it after a few days, as this is an airport suggestion someone must have noticed and flagged it so it could be reopened.
