The $10 million renovations at Perth domestic airport have finally been completed after twelve months of disruption for domestic terminal passengers.
The transit area in front of the domestic airport has been upgraded and now has new traffic lanes, undercover walkways, dedicated taxi lanes and fast-track business valet parking.
Perth Airport chief executive Brad Geatches said the completion of these works would be welcomed by frequent travellers to the domestic terminals.
"The dedicated traffic lanes for taxis, buses and the general public have been designed to
improve vehicle and pedestrian access into and out of the domestic terminals and will improve
the journey for all airport users, particularly frequent travellers," Mr Geatches said.
"The new permanent passenger drop-off and pick-up lane includes overhead canopies for
weather protection and extends along the entire front of the Domestic Terminals.
"The eight bay taxi boarding area has already reduced waiting time for passengers to around 10 minutes in peak times and taxi drivers can queue far easier with the new system."
The domestic terminal will also have new retail and food and beverage outlets.
"The next stage of redevelopment will take place within domestic terminal 3 and includes the addition of new retail and food and beverage outlets and the expansion of the current departures lounge," the statement said.
The airport is set for further renovations, with a new road connecting the domestic and international terminals to be completed by the end of the year, making travel time between the two precints 10 minutes.
