Cape Town International Airport
Cape Town International Airport is one of the two primary airports for South Africa and a major tourism gateway. CPT handles around 10 million passengers per year and sits about 12 miles southeast of central Cape Town. The airport is a major base for South African Airways, FlySafair, Mango, Comair, and several international carriers. Cape Town's role as a world-class tourism destination, combined with its position at the southern tip of Africa, makes CPT an important international airport. The airport handles direct flights to several European cities, Middle Eastern hubs, and African destinations. CPT has a single main terminal that has been significantly expanded over the last two decades. The airport is connected to central Cape Town primarily by the MyCiti bus service and the City Centre highway system. Cape Town's scenic location, with Table Mountain in the background, makes the approach to the airport one of the more memorable in commercial aviation.
