Perth Airport is working closely with the Federal and State Governments to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

If you suspect you may have coronavirus symptoms or may have had close contact with a person who has coronavirus, you should contact the Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080.

• Is Perth Airport open?

Yes, Perth Airport is still operational however our services have been significantly reduced and only essential travel is currently permitted. All non-essential travellers arriving into WA (domestically and internationally) are required to self-isolate for 14 days. FIFO charter flights and other essential services are exempt from these restrictions. The WA Government has signalled it will soon move to a 'hard borders' policy where non-essential travellers from interstate will be turned back.

From Friday 20 March 2020, only Australian citizens are permitted to travel to Australia. The Australian Government has announced level four travel advice for Australia which is DO NOT TRAVEL. Travellers of other nationalities are permitted to fly out of Australia.

• What measures is Perth Airport taking?

We’ve increased our cleaning regime across our terminals, transfer buses and offices, particularly for known touchpoints. We've placed public health messaging throughout our terminals, increased sanitising for security screening trays and introduced hand sanitiser at all security screening points. 

To promote social distancing, we've increased signage, placed floor markings in key areas, blocked off seating, and introduced regular PA announcements across our terminals. We've also worked with the Chamber of Minerals and Energy, resources sector companies and our airline partners to better manage the flow of FIFO passengers at peak times.

We have also suspended the Gold Coats volunteer program as a temporary, precautionary measure.

Our Food & Beverage partners will now only provide take-away service and retail stores in our international terminals have closed in accordance with the Federal Government restrictions. To promote the 'stay at home' message and because of concerns about social distancing, we have closed our observation deck at T1 International and the viewing platform at Dunreath Drive. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

These plans will remain under constant review based on the latest advice from the WA Department of Health: https://www.health.gov.au/health-topics/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov
