Cape Winelands Airport takes big step toward a 2028 opening
The airport, which is expected to open around 2028, has been positioned as a key infrastructure project for the Western Cape.
Once complete, it aims to:
- Ease pressure on Cape Town International Airport
- Improve access to the Cape Winelands region
- Boost tourism and regional economic growth
The latest appointment marks “continued momentum” as the project moves into its next phase, according to developers.
Designing more than just an airport
Boogertman + Partners isn’t just there to draw up plans.
The firm will play a central role in shaping the airport’s overall look and feel, the passenger experience, as well as how the facility reflects the identity of the Cape Winelands
That means the design is expected to blend modern aviation infrastructure with elements inspired by the surrounding vineyards, landscapes, and local architecture.
To deliver on that vision, Boogertman + Partners will work alongside Amd.Sigma, a Germany-based airport development specialist.
The idea is to combine international aviation expertise with local design knowledge and context.
This partnership is expected to ensure the airport meets global standards while still feeling distinctly South African.
The development is also seen as a long-term investment in infrastructure, particularly as air travel demand continues to rise.
While construction has not yet fully begun, the appointment of architects is a clear signal that the project is moving forward at pace.
With a targeted 2028 launch, the next few years will be critical in turning plans into reality.
