Perth Airport has appointed DXC Technology as master systems integrator for its planned new terminal development, part of the airport’s broader infrastructure investment program.
DXC’s role will cover the design, integration, testing and commissioning of more than 70 information technology and operational systems intended to support the new terminal facilities. The company will also be responsible for ensuring those systems operate together across airport operations.
The new terminal facilities are scheduled to open in 2031. Perth Airport said the development supports its “One Airport” plan to consolidate commercial airline operations into a single central location.
Steve Moreland, Chief Planning and Projects Officer at Perth Airport, said: “We are proud to be partnering with DXC who will bring important industry knowledge and experience to this once-in-a-generation infrastructure investment.”
The master systems integrator program includes technology covering passenger processing systems, baggage tracking and reconciliation, security screening integration, building management and automation, digital signage and wayfinding, public Wi‑Fi and operational control systems. Perth Airport said the scope also includes cybersecurity as well as cloud and AI-related solutions.
DXC will also oversee interoperability between systems used by airport stakeholders including airlines, ground handlers, retailers and government agencies.
“We’re extremely proud to partner with Perth Airport on a technology transformation that will support Western Australia’s long-term economic growth. Leveraging over 30 years of global aviation experience, DXC will bring together a complex ecosystem of technologies and providers to deliver the digital foundation required to support the airport’s vision for providing a world class travel experience,” said Robert Le Busque, President, Asia Pacific Japan at DXC Technology.
Perth Airport forecasts that by 2046 it will support 30 million passengers annually, generate more than 75,000 jobs, and contribute $17 billion to the Western Australian economy.
