The Aviation Association of Western Australia Inc (AAWA) and Perth Airport arranged an airside visit for 31 AAWA members (around half of AAWA’s total members) at Perth Airport on 7 May 2018, for the first visit by a Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner to Perth, 9V-SCA of Singapore Airlines.
The previous visits were:
- 3 November 2017 for the second visit to Perth by Qantas’ first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
- 4 April 2014, during the air search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
AAWA members completed security requirements then boarded a chartered bus to drive around the airport. All enthusiasts wore high-visibility vests and followed instructions from Perth Airport staff. Lasting from 1:50pm to 3:30pm, the airside tour included:
- Terminal 3
- Terminal 4
- Bay 914 (between Terminals 3 and 4 and runway 21/03); the group was allowed out of the bus (within a defined area) to photograph aircraft taxying, landing or taking off, including arrival of the first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner to visit Perth, 9V-SCA of Singapore Airlines.
- General Aviation area
- Taxiway R (Cobham Aviation, Network Aviation, Awesome Base/ExecuJet Australia, OzJet 737-200s)
- Northern perimeter road
- Terminal 1 (International and Domestic aprons)
Informative commentary and safety/security supervision was provided by a Perth Airport Airside Operations Officer.
AAWA members thoroughly enjoyed the visit and obeyed instructions.
