Geoff Culbert made the comments as the airport revealed domestic passenger traffic slipped to just 87 per cent of pre-pandemic figures in July.
The sensors, positioned in Keilor, Sunshine and Bulla, complement six existing noise monitors operated by Airservices Australia, and have been set up in response to community feedback during last year’s public exhibition of the new north-south runway project slated to open in 2027.
Western Australia’s main gateway surpassed 14 million passengers in the 2022–23 financial year, down just two per cent on FY2019. This was driven in no small part by a huge boost in regional aviation traffic, with both May and June 2023 seeing record regional passenger numbers.
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth Airports all lost money on aeronautical services last year, with Melbourne down the most at 38.8 per cent, and Perth the least at 0.05 per cent. Sydney and Brisbane recorded losses of 27.4 per cent and 5.9 per cent respectively.
From 9 October to 30 November, the main runway will be closed between 2am and 11:30am, with regional airline traffic to use the second runway if required. In a statement, a Jetstar spokesperson confirmed that the airline has now cancelled all flights between Darwin and Bali between 9 and 28 October.
However, in a significant moment, international travel rose to 92 per cent of 2019 figures, buoyed by the arrival of travellers from China, India and the UK.
