The state government will spend $30 million to form a ‘Team Perth’ with the goal of attracting new airline routes into Perth and grow its reputation as Australia’s western gateway.


The partnership between Tourism Western Australia and Perth Airport regularly meets with airlines, shares information and seeks opportunities to grow aviation access to WA.


'Team Perth' is trying to secure more direct flights to city like the Perth to London flight that started earlier this year.

The team is investigating increased capacity from China and new direct routes from Japan, India and Europe.


Tourism Minister Paul Papalia said the combined funding contributions of $30 million would be
used for destination marketing agreements with individual airlines to help drive demand for the
new routes.


“Increasing the number of direct air routes into WA is critical if we are to grow the number of
visitors coming to WA and help drive our tourism industry,” he said.
