CAT-IIIb upgrade to prevent aircraft diversions at Perth Airport
ARTICLE. Perth Airport is a major transit hub that operates 24/7. It is one of the most isolated international airports in the world. In the past, low visibility conditions have led to aircraft diversions. The nearest alternative airports are a minimum of two flying hours away. Airline diversion cost including fuel, transport and accommodation could reach over half a million dollars per diversion. The solution was to upgrade Perth´s main runway from CAT-I to CAT-III rating.
