Cape Town International Airport

Cape Town International Airport (FACT) is a large airport in Cape Town, WC, South Africa. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code FACT or IATA code CPT. It sits in Africa.

Cape Town International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Cape Town International Airport sits near sea level at 151 ft.

Local operations run on Africa/Johannesburg. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 1 departing and 3 arriving private-jet legs at FACT across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

As one of the larger fields in South Africa, FACT tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Cape Town International Airport, and sometimes abbreviated to CTIA, is the primary international airport serving the city of Cape Town, South Africa. It is the second-busiest airport in the country and fourth-busiest in Africa.
