About Perth International Airport
Overview
Perth International Airport serves as the primary airport for Western Australia's capital city, located on the southwestern coast. Situated at 67 feet above mean sea level, the airport handles significant international and domestic passenger and cargo operations. The airport's geographical position makes it a critical gateway for transpacific and Indian Ocean region air traffic.
Flying Conditions
Perth experiences a Mediterranean climate with predominantly dry and stable weather conditions. Summer months (December-February) can produce high-temperature variations that may impact aircraft performance, particularly on the longer 03/21 runway spanning 11,299 feet. Wind conditions typically favor runway 06/24, which provides an alternate 7,096-foot asphalt surface for operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel asphalt runways oriented in different directions, providing operational flexibility for various wind conditions. Its coastal location near latitude -31.940300 and longitude 115.967003 means pilots should anticipate potential maritime meteorological influences, including sea breezes and occasional coastal weather system interactions.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection at Perth International will primarily depend on prevailing wind direction, with both runways offering substantial length for most aircraft types. The longer 03/21 runway provides excellent capabilities for heavy international and long-haul aircraft, while the 06/24 runway offers a complementary operational surface for shorter-range and regional aircraft movements.
