Picture: Matthew Poon Source: PerthNow PASSENGERS were evacuated from the domestic terminal at Perth Airport this afternoon. An alarm was activated in the Qantas Club lounge, forcing passengers to evacuate for about half an hour and delaying some flights. V8 Supercar drivers Garth Tander and Dean Fiore, in Perth for a promotional appearance, were among the passengers affected. Tander tweeted, "Just tried to board my plane back to Melbourne and the evacuation alarm has gone off at Perth Airport! #not ideal." Tiore wrote on Twitter, "Checking in for my flight back to the GC and the alarms are sounding, we've all been evacuated #smooth." Qantas says the alarm was triggered "in error." In a case of unfortunate timing, the false alarm came on the same day that the airline officially unveiled an expanded Qantas Club lounge in Perth, promising customers "the best travel experience on the ground as well as in the air."
