Perth Airport is in chaos after desperately trying to recover from a total blackout due to a severe storm that criss-crossed the State. The flights are already running but there is a huge backlog with passengers trying to get through security. Hundreds of people with high vision were in Terminal 2 as regional flights took off. The line to pass through security is almost out the door as people race to make their flights on time. Terminal 1 is less chaotic, almost like a ghost town, as some flights are still cancelled. An airport spokesman said the terminals were “fully operational” as of 10pm last night, but the after effects of the impact could still be felt. Perth Airport has announced a thorough review of its backup power system in light of the power outage. While the backup power for the critical runway was turned on, the terminal went into chaos as the backup power failed to turn on. Chief executive Kevin Brown said a review would begin soon to understand why parts of t...

Passengers have been told to go home after all flights were canceled at Perth Airport due to power outages “out of their control”. Travelers sitting in the dark with only torches to light their way got bad news just before 6.30pm on Monday, that all flights—except for direct flights QF 9 London to Perth—had to be cancelled. The violent storm that hit Perth cut off all electricity at the airport which some experienced staff had never seen before. Perth Airport announced the news at around 5:15 p.m., warning that the blackout would result in lengthy delays over the next two hours. The airport apologized to passengers, some of whom were found stranded at other airports because they could not land in Perth. “The safety of everyone working or traveling through our airport remains our top priority,” the airport said. “We apologize to our passengers and customers for the inconvenience.” It said the decision was made on advice from Western Power. “Perth...

As interest rates continue to rise, some real estate experts expect an increase in apartment sales across Australia due to the large gap between the average house and unit prices. The Reserve Bank last week increased its interest rate target by 50 basis points to 1.35 percent. It also increased the interest rate on the exchange’s settlement balance by 50 basis points to 1.25 percent. James Kirkland, director of sales for national real estate agency Upside Realty, told NCA NewsWire that buyers’ borrowing power is dwindling and it’s being felt across the property market. Kirkland said he hopes the lifestyle apartments, which offer green space and amenities, will be seen as a viable alternative for those who can no longer afford a home. “Since March 2020, the value of the capital city unit has increased 9.8 percent, compared to 24.7 percent for houses, which makes it a more affordable option for the community,” he said.
