What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Cape Winelands Airport (FAWN), situated approximately 13 kilometers northeast of Durbanville in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, is currently a private general aviation airfield primarily used for flight training and private flights. However, it is undergoing a significant R8 billion redevelopment and expansion to transform into Cape Town's second international airport, with an anticipated opening in 2028. Therefore, comprehensive recent traveler reviews for a commercial passenger experience are not available, as the airport is not yet operating as a full-scale international hub. The information below reflects its current status and the ambitious plans for its future.

What Travelers (and future travelers) Love:

  • Strategic Location: Positioned near the Cape Winelands, the airport aims to offer direct access to wine routes, mountain passes, and coastal areas, bypassing Cape Town city traffic for tourists.
  • Ease of Access (Future): Planned as a multimodal hub, it will integrate road, rail, and air connections, designed to simplify arrivals and departures for visitors.
  • Boutique Terminal Experience (Planned): The redevelopment includes a state-of-the-art boutique terminal with modern check-in, baggage, security, and retail amenities, aiming for a "special" and "well-considered" passenger experience.
  • General Aviation & Flight Training: Currently, it's a popular choice for flight training in the Cape Town area and accommodates private and corporate aircraft.
Common Complaints
  • Limited Current Commercial Passenger Facilities: As a general aviation airfield, it currently lacks the extensive terminal facilities, amenities, security, customs/immigration, and diverse transportation connections expected of a commercial international airport.
  • Operational Hours: Current operational hours are restricted (Monday-Friday 06:00-15:00 GMT, Saturday-Sunday 06:00-10:00 GMT), which limits accessibility for recreational and private flyers outside these times.
  • No International or Commercial Flights (Currently): The airport is not currently an airport of entry and does not have customs facilities, or scheduled commercial passenger services.

Cape Winelands Airport is in a transitional phase, moving from a general aviation facility to a planned international airport. While it currently serves a specific niche for flight training and private flights, the ambitious redevelopment project aims to address the current lack of commercial passenger infrastructure by 2028, promising a modern and strategically located gateway to the Cape Winelands region.
