All Nippon Airways returns to Perth Airport

All Nippon Airways returned to Perth, two weeks earlier than planned due to high demand for travel from Japan. ANA will operate the Tokyo Narita (NRT) – Perth (PER) service 3 times a week (Monday, Thursday, Saturday) on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner between 14 October 2024 and 27 March 2025.

Perth Airport’s Chief Commercial and Aviation Officer said that the return of the non-stop service is great news for Western Australia. “The return of ANA’s service means that there are more options for business and leisure travellers, and it will also lead to many more Japanese and other international visitors coming to Western Australia.”

“Japan is Western Australia’s 9th biggest international visitor market, injecting $70 million into the WA economy in visitor expenditure for the year ending in June 2024 and the return of ANA’s direct service will be a major boost for the tourism and hospitality sector. “ANA returned for a seasonal service last year and we’re delighted to welcome the airline back to Perth,” said Ms Holsgrove.
