If you find yourself booking any flight through Cape Town around 2028, make sure to add this new airport to your travel route.
Cape town is a major travel destination for foreigners and South African holidaymakers. That’s why news of a new airport set to be ready for flights by 2028 is such exciting news.
Previously established as the Fisantekraal Airfield, built in 1943 and used by the South African Air Force up until 1993 when it was bought and became privately owned. Now known as the Cape Winelands Airport, it is a prime space to re-establish itself as a commercial flight destination.
There are hugely exciting plans ahead for this shining new airport and with all of its exciting features, 2028 could not come soon enough.
To preserve the Cape Winelands precious, natural beauty, the new airport will prioritise renewable energy and sustainable waste management, focusing on composting and recycling. Talk of being off the grid as much as possible when it comes to power and water is also big. Cape Winelands Airport will be as green as it is exciting.
Not only will the Cape Winelands Airport have the standard amenities – a conference centre and a hotel – it will also host facilities and experiences celebrating the landscape and surroundings, such as wine tastings and vineyard tours.
And for anyone lucky enough to have a layover at the new airport, not only can you experience the natural beauty of the surroundings, the airport is set to host a variety of restaurants and cuisine options as well as boutique stores and outlets, says BusinessTech.
With a foresight of some 5.2 million annual passengers making use of the Cape Winelands Airport, this air-travel hub will majorly increase domestic and international travel. Along with this increase in travel, driven by the airport’s strategic and scenic location, the domestic economy is expected to grow a great deal thanks to the Cape Winelands Airport.
