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.&nbsp;The project will also add the airport’s first hotel.&nbsp;
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 <a href="https://www.perthairport.com.au/-/media/Files/CORPORATE/Planning-and-projects/New-Runway-Project/FS-Final/FactSheet-1-NRP-205x292-6Pg.pdf">fact sheet</a> published by the airport, the parallel runway will be built on the 03/21 orientation.&nbsp; Construction is already underway, with the new runway scheduled for completion in 2028.
“Perth Airport is a barometer for growth in the Western Australian economy,” said YPPH CEO Jason Waters. “When we’re growing, the state’s economy is growing and prospering. The appointment of Bechtel as our capital portfolio partner is another critical step in delivering our plans to change the face of Perth Airport over the coming decade.”
As capital portfolio partner, Bechtel will work with YPPH to manage the delivery of these upgrade projects within a live airport environment. The team will offer specialized advice and implement the necessary tools and processes to ensure the integration and execution of the initiatives within the expansion program.

New developments at airports including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
