Perth Airport and Qantas bury the hatchet via huge infrastructure deal.
Qantas and Perth Airport have reached an historic commercial agreement which will see Perth Airport construct new terminal facilities and a parallel runway.
Qantas and Jetstar will relocate all services to the Airport Central precinct under the agreement, unlocking faster growth from the WA port, which will see Qantas Group add 4.4 million seats to and from Perth annually for both the Jetstar and Qantas brands by the time the new terminal opens in 2031.
The new parallel runway is expected to open by 2028.
The decision looks to have put an end to a long-running dispute between Perth Airport and Qantas over terminal relocation plans.
