- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Cape Town's airport, 25 minutes from the V&A Waterfront and the CBD and 45 from the Winelands, with three FBOs on the general-aviation side and 24-hour CIQ. Summer season (December–February) brings heavy demand and strong south-easterly winds; helicopter transfers reach the Atlantic seaboard estates.
