In the early morning, there Perth Airport funds infrastructure is a departure peak that sees up to 40 aircraft departing each hour for a development through a mix of equity and two to three hour period. In the afternoon, there is an arrivals peak which debt from banks and capital markets. sees up to 26 aircraft arriving each hour for a two to three hour period. Current demand exceeds the capacity in these peak periods. No Commonwealth or State Simulation modelling shows that an additional runway is needed when the funding is required for the number of flights exceeds 145,000 per year. In 2013, flight numbers peaked construction of the new runway at 151,000 resulting in significant delays to airlines and passengers.
