Due to the large distance between the terminals, this airport is treated in 2 different entries: T1 & T2 Intl & domestic & T3 & T4 domestic. These terminal pairs are far apart on opposite sides of the main runway. T1 & T2 are further from the city than T3 & T4. On 02 March 2013 a reorganisation of the terminals and their numbering system occurred. The information below reflects the new layout.
Perth Terminals T1 (International) & T2 (domestic) (PER):

| Airline Overview: | |
