Qantas will be developing its operation at Perth International Airport (PER) in Western Australia as the carrier looks to open up new passenger markets and build its cargo network, according to the airline’s Head of International and Cargo division. 

Speaking at the CAPA Airline Leader Summit Australia Pacific 2024 being held in Brisbane between September 11 to 13, 2024, Cam Wallace told attendees that the Australian national carrier sees Perth as offering an ideal facility to develop into the airline’s second most important international and cargo hub in the country. 

Wallace set out the carrier’s objectives for the near future, which included the stabilization of airfares in the Australian market, fleet renewal, the launch of Project Sunrise, and lastly, the development of Perth as a key focus city for the company. He also said that growth at sister company Jetstar was continuing apace while Qantas’ international capacity had surpassed pre-COVID levels, indicating the carrier had fully recovered and was now looking positively to the future.
