Airport guide

Ysterplaat Air Force Base (FAYP) is a medium airport in Cape Town, South Africa. It sits in Africa.

Ysterplaat Air Force Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

Ysterplaat Air Force Base sits near sea level at 52 ft.

Local operations run on Africa/Johannesburg. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
