According to Perth Airport, the sustainable design of the domestic terminal reduces energy consumption, by providing natural light and a facade providing shade during the summer months.

Virgin Australia Group CEO John Borghetti said: "This terminal is the centrepiece of our commitment to Western Australia and will deliver an outstanding travel experience for all of our customers.

"It will provide access to twice the number of departure gates, with the ability to board up to 12 aircraft at one time, offering a world-class gateway for regional, domestic and international travel."

Virgin Australia revamped its domestic terminal at Brisbane Airport in September to double the size of the lounge, include new facilities for business class travellers, and provide improved services to its customers.
