Cape Town International Airport

The newly refurbished and renovated Cape Town International Airport is located on the N2 highway about 20 minutes (22km)from the city centre. Although Johannesburg International Airport is the main hub for flights into and out of South Africa, Cape Town International is nevertheless a busy airport with many of the major airlines flying direct to Cape Town.

Domestic travel within South Africa is also very efficient with various airlines offering flights on the hour to other major cities. For connecting flights, the flying time from Cape Town to Johannesburg is 2-hours.
