    I know I know, It's been a while... But Perth Airport was too good not to cover! As a major strategic port for Australian aviation, the Aerodrome is rich with history. A history which is all covered in this first part of my deep dive into Perth Airport!! As always, please remember that I do not own the rights to most of the footage and imagery shown in this video. The creators of these amazing shots are linked below.

    Born and raised in Sydney, the company that I was working for in 2004 relocated me from Sydney to Perth in 2004. Initially I just didn't like Perth as everyone kept on saying to me that WA means "wait a while!" - meaning that WA has to wait for 24 hr petrol stations, weekend shopping hours, and a whole lot more. However, since 2004, as your video shows and fully explains, Perth is finally getting the recognition that it deserves. I think that Perth airport is the best looking in Australia now. We now do have 24/7 petrol stations, weekend shopping hours, a great freeway system without any toll ways, the best-looking football stadium in Australia [OPTUS STADIUM], Elizabeth Key, and a host of other improvements to the city of Perth that were not here in 2004.
    Thanks for researching, compiling and posting, great work! DM.

    Fifty two years ago I arrived at Perth Airport (from Sydney). I was to start work at the old Flight Service Centre on the following Monday (July 1970). I worked above the old "original" terminal building (about 1500 metres off the Great Eastern Highway). This terminal was build in the early 1960's in readiness for the 1962 Commonwealth Games. The airport had three runways in those days including the 10700 ft (3260 metres) which the long haul B707's of Qantas and South African Airlines used for their 7 hr 25 min flights to Mauritius (Indian Ocean).

    Welcome back! Glad you are producing more content again. Looking forward to part 2 and also hearing about what you’ve been up to! Also would love to eventually see a start to finish about Amsterdam Airport Schiphol at some stage in the future! 🙂🇦🇺🇳🇱✈️👍

    Perth is the hub for long distance travel. I heard Batik Air is using Perth as hub for travel between Kuala Lumpur & Auckland. Wishing for more to come.

    Great Video mate, enjoyed learning more about my home city's airport. Can't wait for Part 2. I live not far from Perth Intl Airport and do a bit of planespotting. Just wondering, when you were talking about Airport Drive and the new interchange into T1 and T2, that photo I don't think is an accurate one to Perth's Airport Drive/Tonkin Hwy/Leach Hwy Interchange? Other than that great work!

    These videos are great. I found them while searching for Auckland airport since I was scheduled for a flight to there. Do you think you could do Queenstown airport, I think it would be interesting due to its short runway and scary approach?. Thank you for the great content, keep doing what you’re doing.

    just to be clear, Perth is not a 3.5 hour trip from the east coast, its 4 hours to Melbourne (which is technically not on the east coast) and 5 hours to Sydney and Brisbane. Good video but such a fundamental mistake

      From Perth it can be as jet stream run that direction putting another 90/100kts on ground speed

      @rodlay4710 Před 2 měsíci

      i've often got a 3.5 flight to Melbourne and a 4hour journey to sydney. going back tho, adds up to an hours if the headwinds are strong.

    Some inaccuracies here - the airfield shown at 2:11 is Laverton VIC while the one at 2:23 is Amberley in Queensland. Neither are Dunreath (pronounced Dunreeth btw).
