About Perth Airport
Perth Airport is the main domestic and international gateway to Western Australia, operated by Perth Airport Pty Ltd. It manages multiple terminals that serve major Australian carriers and international airlines, as well as air cargo operations. In addition to flight services, Perth Airport provides parking facilities, airport lounges, retail outlets, duty-free shopping, food and beverage venues, car rental services, and ground transport connections. Many of its services can be booked and paid for in advance online at perthairport.com.au.
A charge from Perth Airport may appear on your bank or card statement for a variety of travel-related reasons. Common charges include online or drive-up car parking fees, parking pre-bookings or amendments, terminal access or pick-up/drop-off parking, and car park overstay fees. You may also see charges for lounge access, baggage services, or purchases from airport-operated facilities such as certain car parks, pay-per-use amenities, or directly managed retail functions. Some transactions may appear as pre-authorisation holds (for example, when you enter certain parking facilities or use a card at automated machines) and then settle for the final amount once your usage is complete.
To verify a Perth Airport charge, start by checking recent travel, pick-ups/drop-offs, parking, and any online bookings made via perthairport.com.au or the official Perth Airport app. Look for booking confirmation emails or SMS messages that show the date, time, and amount charged. If you still have questions, note the exact amount, date, and description as it appears on your statement, then contact Perth Airport via the contact details on perthairport.com.au (usually through the ‘Contact Us’ form or phone numbers listed for parking and general enquiries). Common issues—such as incorrect licence plate entry, extended stays, or duplicate taps at payment machines—can often be resolved by providing your vehicle registration, booking reference, and evidence of your travel dates.
