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.

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...

The 2021 Hilux has increased in value an incredible 136 percent from $29,000 in June 2021 to $68,500 in June 2022.
