. Of course PER aren't building another Terminal yet. Why would they? QF are sitting tight for another 7 years. And do you think they will move even then, especially if they have began other destinations?
Yes I do think they will move, but they will have leverage to move into the facility of the best quality and rent that Qantas WANT, under the best terms they can get, rather than let Perth Airport completely dictate what they will get.. That’d be the prerogative of the biggest customer of the Airport, who would be trying to use that leverage in dealing with a company that is a Monopoly. Qantas will have that leverage with or without any additional flying that they have now.
So let them do what they please out of the existing facility, so the operation they eventually move with is as big and as profitable as it can be. Only an ‘inept management’ would try to prevent this.
Perth Airport should be ‘building’ already because, ‘design, approvals, red tape, green tape, Australia tape, etc etc’ are all part of ‘building’ it, and this is Australia, not Singapore or Hong Kong, and 7 years may be barely enough.
