Perth Airport to Upgrade T1’s Aerobridges

The first tangible sign that Perth Airport is being transformed for the future will get underway next month with Perkins Builders awarded the contract to replace the stairs and single head aerobridges with new ramps and lifts at Terminal 1 International’s gates 52, 53 and 54.

Once complete, international travellers will no longer face the inconvenience of having to walk down stairs to get to their flights with the new aerobridges set to deliver greater efficiency for airline partners and a vastly improved boarding experience for passengers.

“This next wave of investment will upgrade the international terminal and bring all flight services into one central aviation hub, delivering an airport that has the amenity, capacity and efficiency to deliver passengers a seamless, quality travel experience,” said Perth Airport CEO, Kevin Brown. “The construction of the ramps and lifts will be delivered in stages with one gate at a time decommissioned for about four to five months. Construction will start in March 2020 and is scheduled to be completed by June 2021. Once complete, we know that not only our passengers will see the difference, but our airline partners will also benefit from greater efficiencies.”

The project will replace the current single head aerobridges with dual head aerobridges which will facilitate faster turnaround times and an improved product for airline partners operating from those gates.
