Perth Airport (YPPH) in Australia is planning extensive upgrades, including a new parallel runway. Engineering and project management company Bechtel has been selected to support and advise Perth Airport on its multibillion-dollar expansion. The project will also add the airport’s first hotel. 

Currently, the airport has two runways: 11,299-foot-long Runway 03/21 and a 7,096-foot-long Runway 06/24. According to a fact sheet published by the airport, the parallel runway will be built on the 03/21 orientation.  Construction is already underway, with the new runway scheduled for completion in 2028.
