Last year’s April getaway saw the all-time record for delays being broken as the industry buckled under the weight of airlines racing back to pre-COVID passenger numbers but with far fewer staff.
WA Tourism Minister Roger Cook said Qantas’ slow pace in moving to Terminal 1 is keeping Perth Airport from being the “western gateway to Australia”.
Geoff Culbert suggested the airlines were requesting more take-off slots than they needed and then cancelling them on purpose. It follows both Bonza and Rex complaining that it was difficult for them to get access to the airport.
In a significant intervention, Geoff Culbert appeared to blame airlines for offering fewer seats for sale, alongside higher airfares putting people off booking tickets.
Slated to open in 2028-29, the project will see New Zealand’s largest airport fully integrate a new domestic terminal into its international terminal, as the existing domestic terminal is almost at capacity and no longer fit for purpose.
Melbourne placed 19th on the overall global rankings, up seven places from last year, as well as taking best airport staff in the region. Last year’s regional winner of both categories, Brisbane, slipped one place to 23rd.
