Perth International Airport is a near sea-level field at 67 ft (20 m), positioned at 31.9403° S, 115.9670° E in the Southern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 11,299 ft / 3,444 m. The airport clock uses Australia/Perth (AWST, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Morley is the closest retained city-time anchor at 7.9 km. ADL Adelaide is the closest retained airport alternative at 2116 km.
PER is compared with ADL Adelaide at 2116 km, AVV Geelong/Melbourne at 2672 km, MEL Melbourne at 2700 km, HBA Hobart (Cambridge) at 3016 km, SYD Sydney (Mascot) at 3277 km inside the retained Australia airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
PER-ADL Adelaide: 2116 km, about 3h 31m, +1h 30m. PER-AVV Geelong/Melbourne: 2672 km, about 4h 13m, +2h. PER-MEL Melbourne: 2700 km, about 4h 15m, +2h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident YPPH backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. perthairport.com.au is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

OurAirports classifies PER as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Perth.
PER (YPPH) is a near sea-level field at 67 ft (20 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PER sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PER's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 11,299 ft / 3,444 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
Civil aviation oversight for PER runs through Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at perthairport.com.au, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
PER uses Australia/Perth (AWST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Perth International Airport is about 10 km from central Perth; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
ADL Adelaide is the closest retained alternate at 2116 km, time difference +1h 30m.
perthairport.com.au is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place PER inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
PER ranks #10 in the curated Australia airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 12 airports.
PER has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making Australia/Perth a more distinctive signal for this page.
PER is 67 ft (20 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include EZE 67 ft (20 m) (0 ft delta) · ADA 65 ft (20 m) (2 ft delta) · KUL 69 ft (21 m) (2 ft delta) · PIK 65 ft (20 m) (2 ft delta) · PMO 65 ft (20 m) (2 ft delta).
PER's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are ADL 2116 km +1h 30m · AVV 2672 km +2h · MEL 2700 km +2h.

Central Perth is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Perth is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Perth International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from PER, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Perth International Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Adelaide (ADL), Geelong/Melbourne (AVV), Melbourne (MEL). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
