Flights to Perth
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Perth is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Perth International Airport (PER), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,299-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perth International Airport | PER | 10 km (6 mi) | 11,299 ft | 67 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,299 ft, PER can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 67 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
