ANA, which currently flies three weekly return services from Perth to Narita, will increase to seven weekly services between 1 December 2025 and 19 April 2026, adding an estimated 19,200 additional inbound seats to WA over the period.

“The additional frequency means more options for business and leisure travellers to travel to Tokyo and also access ANA’s extensive domestic network to over 40 destinations,” said Perth Airport’s chief commercial and aviation officer, Kate Holsgrove.
“It will also lead to more visitors coming to Western Australia delivering a major boost for our fantastic tourism and hospitality sectors.
“Japan is Western Australia’s ninth largest international visitor market, injecting $127 million into the WA economy in visitor expenditure for the year ending in March 2025.”
WA Tourism Minister Reece Whitby called the uplift “a fantastic outcome for WA’s tourism industry, bringing thousands of inbound passengers to Perth”.
“The expansion of this service reinforces the Cook Government’s commitment to growing the aviation sector and deepening our long-standing partnership with All Nippon Airways,” he said.
“Perth is a growing global aviation hub, with the effect of these additional services set to benefit our State’s tourism industry, as more visitors travel here and spend their tourism dollars across WA.”
The news comes as Perth continues to grow its passenger figures, with the airport in July passing 1.6 million monthly passengers for the first time.
“Perth Airport welcomed a record 5.14 million international passengers in FY25. This was a significant 18.3 per cent growth on the previous year, showcasing the strength of the Western Australia aviation sector and the propensity of Western Australians wanting to travel to new and exciting international destinations,” Holsgrove said.
The airport is continuing works on its “One Airport” overhaul, and has enlisted the designer of Western Sydney Airport for its terminal redevelopment project.
“Perth Airport has now begun work on a major capital works program which will see more than $5 billion invested in new aviation infrastructure to support this growth,” airport CEO Jason Waters said.
“Site preparation works for the new runway are well advanced, construction is continuing on the first of the multi-storey carparks, and design work is advancing for the expanded international terminal and new domestic terminal to facilitate the relocation of Qantas into the Airport Central precinct.
“We’ve also started construction works within Terminals 3 and 4 which will provide additional capacity for Qantas while we build the terminal facilities within Airport Central.”
Perth Airport last year showed off the vision for its “One Airport” program, which will consolidate all flights at the Airport Central precinct.
