Why Advertise

Why advertise at Perth Airport?

Perth Airport, IATA code PER, is the primary aviation gateway for Western Australia and one of the country's fastest-growing major airports.

It is Australia's western hub for long-haul international travel, the busiest gateway for the state's fly-in fly-out (FIFO) resources workforce, and the front door for tourism across WA. Brands running national Australian campaigns typically pair PER with airport advertising at Sydney Airport (SYD) for full east-to-west reach.

What makes Perth Airport advertising compelling:

Record, accelerating traffic. PER handled a record 16.9 million passengers in calendar 2024, up 1.6 million on 2023, and 17.48 million in the 2024–25 financial year, with international passengers growing more than 18% year on year.
A high-value, high-income audience. Western Australia has a higher average income per capita than the rest of the country. PER's mix of international travelers, interstate business flyers, and well-paid FIFO workers is exactly the audience premium brands want.
The gateway effect. More than 95% of visitors to Western Australia arrive by air, the vast majority through Perth Airport. For tourism, retail, and consumer brands, PER is effectively unavoidable.
High dwell time. Long-haul and FIFO travelers spend extended, distraction-free periods in check-in, security, lounges, and gates, captive, premium attention for your brand.

For finance, mining and resources, tourism, retail, technology, and B2B brands targeting Western Australia, airport advertising in Perth is one of the most efficient ways to reach a wealthy, captive, hard-to-target audience.

Worth knowing

Perth Airport is mid-way through a multi-billion-dollar "One Airport" program that will reshape its terminals over the next 6–10 years, including a new international terminal and a new domestic terminal for Qantas and Jetstar. The estate is being modernised, and JCDecaux has already deployed 110+ new digital assets across Perth and Adelaide. An advertising environment that is actively growing and upgrading.

Vendor Landscape

Who manages advertising at Perth Airport?

Perth Airport's advertising inventory is exclusively held by JCDecaux, which won a competitive tender for a six-year estate-wide concession that began in August 2023. JCDecaux covers all four Perth Airport terminals plus retail centres and the airport road network, and trades programmatically across all digital assets.

This matters for buyers: there is one media owner, and planning a campaign means working within JCDecaux's inventory, specs, and availability. AdQuick works in alignment with that, we plan your campaign, secure quotes, manage creative and approvals, and add independent measurement, so you get a single, transparent point of contact instead of navigating the concession yourself.

Measurement

Measuring airport advertising effectiveness at PER

Airport media is one of the most measurable forms of out-of-home. JCDecaux runs a proprietary Airport Audience Measurement (AAM) system across its Australian airports, providing passenger numbers per terminal by day, audience profiles, dwell-time and frequency data, and movement data around the airport.

For a Perth Airport campaign, the key performance indicators are:

Impressions & reach, modeled from PER's 17M+ annual passengers, applied by terminal and zone.
Dwell time, long-haul and FIFO travelers are stationary and attentive for long periods, driving high recall.
Frequency, FIFO and regional flyers pass through repeatedly, building multiple exposures over a campaign.
Audience quality, an affluent, captive, distraction-free audience in an engaged travel mindset.
Attribution, digital and programmatic placements can be tied to brand-lift studies, QR/mobile interactions, and footfall or web-visit signals.

AdQuick's measurement suite provides verified reporting against these KPIs, so a PER campaign is accountable, not just visible.
