Power has been restored at Perth Airport after wild weather left passengers stranded and thousands of homes without power.
Flights were delayed and cancelled on Tuesday evening after a high-voltage transmission pole was damaged.
Some terminals were left without overhead lighting before the power was restored several hours later.
"Perth Airport is working to activate all systems across its terminals in order to become fully operational," a spokesperson said.
"Delays and cancellations were experienced across the airline networks and we recommend checking with your airline directly for any future flight status updates.
"We ask passengers for their continued patience as our team and our airline partners work to get flights underway."
The airport's critical operations were supported by backup generators.
Around 8100 homes and businesses remained without power on Wednesday morning due to storm-related outages.
Most were in the Perth metropolitan area with others in Western Australia's southwest.
"We understand the frustration and inconvenience this has caused, particularly for those who were without power overnight," Western Power said.
"Our crews and network operations centre worked through the night in difficult circumstances to make hazards safe and restore power where they could, with around 1,000 homes restored during the night."
A spokesperson said the damage to infrastructure overnight was less severe than on Tuesday when a peak of about 35,000 customers experienced disruptions.
Emergency services have answered more than 440 calls for help since Tuesday afternoon, with fallen trees bringing down power lines and damaging fences.
The wild weather is expected to continue in Perth with the weather bureau forecasting damaging winds with peak gusts exceeding 100km/h.
Conditions are expected to ease later on Wednesday.
