Qantas and Perth Airport spent several years playing a game of Russian Roulette over terminal facilities and airport charges. However, in May 2024 they agreed a new long term deal that includes the upgrading of Terminals 3 and 4 to enable further growth opportunities for Qantas’s international network before a new central terminal facility is completed in 2031.
Notably, that announcement of the agreement specifically pinpointed how the upgrades would enable new services to Auckland and Johannesburg from 2025. And Qantas have delivered on that, with 3x weekly flights to both Auckland and Johannesburg resuming from 7 December.
It’s never been a better time to review the new flights as well as recent development in Qantas’s impressive international growth at Perth.
