Getting to Western Australia

Perth's geographical location makes it an ideal venue for the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships. Located close to Asia, Perth is the western gateway to Australia for both European and Asian visitors.

Perth's international and domestic airports are located 20-25 minutes from the CBD and about 40 minutes from the port city of Fremantle. Regular daily flights into and out of Perth International Airport include services by Qantas, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways, South African Airways and Emirates.

Singapore Airlines has introduced two sectors servicing Los Angeles and New York direct, so with only a four and a half-hour flight from Singapore to Perth, access into Western Australia is now straightforward for visitors from the United States.

European travellers have the choice of stopping off in either Singapore or Dubai, while Oceania nations and the Americas can hub at Sydney and fly direct to Perth. The flight for those travelling from Asia to Perth is short and the fact that we are on the same time zone reduces the potential for jet lag.
