Why Fly Private
Cape Town is a long-haul destination from most major markets, and arriving by private jet means stepping off the aircraft refreshed after 11+ hours. The city's diverse experiences — from wine estates to shark diving to safari — are spread across a wide region, and charter flights connect them seamlessly. Private aviation also enables multi-stop Southern Africa itineraries combining Cape Town with Kruger and Victoria Falls.
Private Jet Experience
Cape Town International Airport's ExecuJet FBO provides a refined arrival experience with private customs clearance and direct tarmac access to your waiting vehicle. The dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain is visible from the runway, setting the tone for an extraordinary visit. Helicopter connections to the Winelands and safari lodges depart directly from the private aviation area.
