Departure on-time performance was 76.10%, an improvement of +2.33 percentage points. Only 40 flights were cancelled (-68.25% YoY), limiting severe disruption for most passengers; afternoon fronts and morning fog still create pockets of delay, so modest buffers remain prudent.

Over the next 4–8 weeks, schedules at Perth Airport should remain broadly stable and departure on-time performance near current levels; morning fog and late‑day frontal rainbands may cause localized delays, especially on weekend peaks. Passengers should favor morning departures, allow 60–90 minutes of buffer for security and connections on busy days, and monitor real‑time gate and weather alerts via the NextFly App.
