There are 18 international, 12 domestic and regional, and four general aviation airlines that operate at Perth Airport, connecting travellers to more than 110 destinations around Australia and overseas. Perth Airport operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is Australia’s closest airport to South East Asia, Europe and Africa. It is now possible to fly with Qantas direct from London through to Perth and it is anticipated that more direct routes will be available by 2024.
We are thrilled to announce that the Society for Marine Mammalogy has partnered with Qantas to support our delegates for the upcoming 25th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals.
As part of this collaboration, Qantas is offering discounts on selected flights for all registered delegates (and family members) travelling to the event from within Australia and internationally.
