Cape Town International Airport wins best in Africa – again!

10 August 2021

Congratulations to Cape Town International Airport who have once again won the prestigious Skytrax World Airport Award for Best Airport in Africa for the 6th consecutive year. 

Cape Town International Airport has also won the award for Best Airport Staff in Africa for 2021, which they last won in 2016. 

Winning this award is even more significant considering the challenging year that the travel industry has experienced, and so we are incredibly proud of the team at Cape Town International Airport who continue to provide a consistent world-class service to those visiting Cape Town and the Western Cape. 

With the successful roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines, I have no doubt that the tourism and travel industry will recover and, when it does, we will be ready to welcome visitors to Cape Town and the Western Cape, offering them the excellent service they have become accustomed to receiving. This is critical to our strategy to save jobs and rebuild the economy in the Western Cape.
