## Description

Cape Winelands Airport (ICAO FAWN), on the former Fisantekraal airfield north-east of Durbanville, is today a privately run general-aviation and flight-training field with no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no customs post. A privately funded expansion worth eight to ten billion rand aims to turn the site into the Cape region's second commercial airport by 2028: environmental authorisation was issued in October 2025, all appeals were resolved during 2026, construction is targeted for the final quarter of 2026, and the phasing explicitly provides for cargo and industrial precincts after the runway and terminal. Until commissioning, Cape Town International (CPT) remains the region's only air freight gateway with handling and customs clearance, and the road leg from Durbanville takes under an hour.
