The southern tip of Africa has become a hub for aviation-related projects over the last few months, as Cape Town International Airport is undergoing a R10-billion overhaul, and two entirely new airports are taking shape only a few dozen kilometres away.
First up is the Atlantic Aerodrome, a new private airfield that will feature chartered flights for small aircraft, up to and including light jets.
This project is nearing completion, as the aerodrome is scheduled to open just over two months from now on 26 September 2026.
While the Atlantic Aerodrome is a relatively small operation intended for light aircraft, the new Cape Winelands Airport is set to become a major aviation hub on par with Cape Town International.
Set to open in 2028, the new airport will provide local and international travellers with a direct route to the region’s famous wine farms.
It will also help to ease the traffic heading to Cape Town International, which hit record passenger numbers in January 2026...
