Congratulations go to Cape Town International Airport who have once again won the prestigious Skytrax World Airport Award for best airport in Africa. 
 
This is the fifth consecutive year that air travellers have voted Cape Town International Airport the best in Africa and confirms that those visiting our airport experience a consistent world-class service.

General Manager of Cape Town International Airport, Deon Cloete, expressed his appreciation: “All of this would not be possible without the collaboration of the Provincial and City structures especially Air Access. We’re extremely proud of this accolade. Well done to all involved!”
