===Disputes with Perth Airport===

The airline has been in a number of disputes with the operators of [[Perth Airport]]. In 2018, the airport sued Qantas in the [[Supreme Court of Western Australia]] for allegedly underpaying their aeronautical service fees by $11.3 million. The suit was resolved in 2022 with Qantas forced to pay the airport the owed amount plus an additional $9 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afr.com/companies/infrastructure/perth-airport-has-substantial-market-power-court-says-20220218-p59xnw|title=Perth Airport fee battle with Qantas finally resolved in court|access-date=23 August 2023|publisher=AFR|date=18 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://australianaviation.com.au/2022/02/qantas-and-perth-airport-both-claim-victory-in-fees-row/|title=Qantas and Perth Airport both claim victory in fees row|access-date=23 August 2023|publisher=Australian Aviation|date=21 February 2022}}</ref> In 2020, Perth Airport had also threatened to cancel several of the airline's leases over unpaid rent between February and May 2020; part of the rental dispute concerned Qantas alleging that Perth Airport had undervalued a Qantas-owned terminal that was sold back to the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/qantas-perth-airport-break-bread-and-resolve-fees-dispute-20200515-p54tcb.html|title=Qantas, Perth Airport break bread and resolve fees dispute|access-date=23 August 2023|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|date=15 May 2020}}</ref> Qantas had also drawn criticism from both Perth Airport and the [[Government of Western Australia]] for delaying an agreed move from their existing isolated terminals to a proposed new terminal in the airport's central precinct;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/qantas-accused-of-dawdling-over-perth-airport-relocation/102149558|title=Qantas accused of 'dawdling' over plans to relocate operations to Terminal 1 at Perth Airport|access-date=16 June 2023|publisher=ABC News|date=27 March 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afr.com/companies/infrastructure/qantas-stalls-on-shift-to-perth-s-airport-central-20230405-p5cy8z|title=Qantas stalls on shift to Perth's Airport Central|access-date=16 June 2023|publisher=AFR|date=5 April 2023}}</ref> in May 2024, it was confirmed that the airline had come to an agreement to complete the move by 2031, six years after the original agreed timeframe of 2025.<ref name="QantasDeal">{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-31/wa-perth-airport-terminals-consolidation-in-qantas-deal/103917998|title=Perth Airport terminals to be consolidated into one complex, in new Qantas deal|access-date=31 May 2024|publisher=ABC News|date=31 May 2024}}</ref>
