Perth set to welcome yet another big plane to the city

You may want to take your lunch break or look up at the sky around two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon as an A350-900 Singapore Airlines aircraft will make a low flyby past Perth city.

Following its departure from Perth Airport, SQ226 will fly at 1500ft and will track along the Swan River in front of the city before heading towards the coast.

Perth braces for big plane

Singapore Airlines is warning Perth residents not to be alarmed, with an Airbus A350 due to fly as low as 450 metres over the city on Wednesday afternoon. Vision: Nine News Perth

The stunt is to mark the 50th anniversary of Singapore Airlines flying to Perth.

Traffic came to a standstill around Perth Airport in May last year as thousands of people lined up against fences, along road verges and on the side of the road in an attempt to get a glimpse of the Ukraine-built Antonov An-225 Mriya.
