Perth Airport

The first job came two days after Cowan met Fitzy.

He was sent to Perth Airport with a photo to watch for a man coming off a Melbourne flight and to text if he saw him.

He was paid $150, and he stood there clutching the cash and said, anytime.

Then there was a debt to collect from a gambler who owed the boss money.

Singapore Airlines pilots have won praise online after safely landing a passenger jet in Perth despite strong winds.

Flight SQ213 from Singapore was approaching Perth Airport last Saturday when the aircraft tilted sharply to the right.

The pilots abandoned their first landing attempt and carried out a go-around before landing safely at 12.30pm local time.

The Airbus A350 encountered winds of 32kmph with gusts reaching 43kmph.

Look, fellas, I flew in from Brisbane yesterday afternoon.

I just missed out on that shocker at Perth Airport.

I'm glad I missed it by a day.

Oh, with the breeze, the big wind?

I want to find out from you when you took things into your own hands because that might not be great timing for it.

But we had a call of Rachel after the power went out at Perth Airport and her dad was an absolute legend.

You'll find out what he did when he took control of the situation next.

Friday panel has engaged with Peter Kapsanis and Steve Butler.

Gentlemen, yesterday we got a call at the start of the show saying, hey, I'm sitting out at Perth Airport and I can't get through the boom gate because the power's out.

And a whole bunch of other people called us going, yeah, we're waiting to pick someone up, but they're stuck on the plane because the power's out.

Anyway, they eventually resolved it.

Jamie, I think the power's out at T1.

I'm not sure which other areas are affected at Perth Airport.

but it's causing havoc with boom gates.

And I'm sitting in a queue at the moment trying to get through security, and it's just building up around me.

Good on you, Mario.

Thanks for letting us know.

We'll put in some calls to Perth Airport, find out what's going on.

But as you heard there from Mario, he's been told the power's out, issues with boom gates, people everywhere.

And I think the state territory government should pull the funding if they're not allowed to run.

Now, obviously, being now a couple of months away from Christmas, I was already shocked that when I was in Perth Airport a couple of days ago, Christmas trees were already up there.

LAUGHTER It's only the 28th of October.

We've got a lot of time left before the end of the year, but the trees go up and the Christmas debate begins.
