À propos Cape Town International Airport

L'aéroport international du Cap est le deuxième aéroport le plus fréquenté d'Afrique du Sud et la principale porte d'entrée aérienne du Cap. Situé à environ 20 kilomètres du centre-ville, l'aéroport a bénéficié d'une rénovation majeure avant la Coupe du monde FIFA 2010, avec un nouveau terminal central achevé en 2010. CPT accueille plus de 10 millions de passagers par an et est un hub important pour les opérations intérieures de South African Airways, Mango, FlySafair et Kulula. L'aéroport dispose de terminaux domestiques et internationaux et exploite deux pistes. L'immense attrait du Cap en tant que destination touristique de classe mondiale, avec la Montagne de la Table, le cap de Bonne-Espérance et la route des vins de Stellenbosch, génère un trafic saisonnier important, notamment pendant les mois d'été de l'hémisphère sud. Le transport terrestre se fait principalement par taxi, services de location de voitures et le service MyCiTi Bus. L'absence de connexion ferroviaire à l'aéroport a été identifiée comme un domaine d'amélioration des infrastructures de transport. L'aéroport sert de lien vital pour l'économie de la région du Cap-Occidental, soutenant le tourisme, l'agriculture et les industries créatives.
