Atlantic Aerodrome Opens as Cape Town’s New Premium Aviation Hub

3 June 2026 By Alan Straton

Table of Contents

Purpose-built facility for general aviation, turboprop operators, light jets, aircraft owners, charter companies, AMOs, EMS operators and aviation businesses

Atlantic Aerodrome, Cape Town’s first purpose-built premium general aviation and turboprop base, will officially open in September 2026. Located just 40 minutes from Cape Town in the Swartland, this modern, low-congestion facility responds to the growing demand for dedicated aviation infrastructure in the Western Cape, where rapid growth in general aviation has outpaced available hangarage and suitable facilities.

Demand for quality hangarage in the Western Cape continues to exceed supply with general aviation operators often competing for space at larger airports.  Atlantic Aerodrome offers aircraft owners, operators, flight training organisations, charter companies and aviation businesses a dedicated, purpose-built home designed around their specific needs.

Flexible, Secure Hangarage with Professional Support Services

Atlantic Aerodrome provides a complete turnkey solution for aircraft owners, combining secure enclosed hangarage with reliable operational support. A dedicated team ensures aircraft are professionally managed, with refuelling, cleaning, and ground handling available so your aircraft is ready when you are.

Hangar Options Tailored to Every Need:

  • 225m² (15m × 15m) – Ideal for individual aircraft owners seeking cost-effective, secure storage
  • 450m² (30m × 15m) – Perfect for small operators with single and twin-engine aircraft
  • 900m² (30m × 30m) – Suited to multi-aircraft operators
  • 1,800m² (60m × 30m) – For larger operators, flight schools and charter services

All hangars feature 24/7 biometric security, direct airside access, and a modern enclosed environment. In addition to long-term leases, the aerodrome offers flexible FBO hangarage with short-term options and priority turboprop positioning.

A Complete Aviation Ecosystem

Beyond hangarage, Atlantic Aerodrome provides everything aircraft owners need in one integrated precinct:

  • Premium fuel (Mogas, Avgas 100LL, Jet A-1) with bulk discounts and 24/7 mobile refuelling
  • Certified AMO maintenance partners and planned on-site avionics support
  • Flight Training Organisation (FTO) offering PPL, CPL, and instrument ratings
  • High-speed fibre connectivity, backup power, and designed in accordance with applicable ICAO Annex 14 and SACAA Part 139 standards

The airfield includes a grooved asphalt Runway 02/20 (884m, extending to 1,524m in Phase 3), full LED lighting for 24/7 operations, and a planned GNSS instrument approach. The facility is targeting an ACR/PCR rating of 23/F/B/X/T.

More Than an Airport – A True Aviation Community 

The centrepiece is a stunning 1,200m² two-level clubhouse with panoramic runway and mountain views, restaurants, bars, VIP lounges, pilot facilities, event spaces, and a family-friendly kids’ play park. Membership programmes (Social, Aviator, VIP, and Corporate) provide priority access and exclusive benefits.

“We’re not just building another airfield,” said Rihan Kleyn, Founder. “We’re creating a dedicated home for general aviation in the Western Cape, a place with the infrastructure, services and community that aircraft owners, operators, pilots and aviation businesses have been looking for. You get secure, affordable hangarage, professional support services, and a beautiful, efficient environment where aviation becomes a genuine pleasure. No more congestion or compromised standards, this is a place where you actually look forward to spending time at your aircraft in a family-friendly environment.”

Key Benefits for Aircraft Owners:

  • Secure, modern enclosed hangarage with professional support
  • Reduced congestion and predictable scheduling
  • Cost-effective fuel and operational solutions
  • On-site maintenance and flight training
  • Premium lifestyle experience with strong community focus

Phased Development

Phase 1 opens in September 2026 with core facilities, hangars, FBO services, clubhouse, and guest accommodation. Subsequent phases will expand based on tenant demand, including potential helicopter/rotary-wing facilities, additional infrastructure, and the runway extension.

Enquiries and Memberships Now Open

Aircraft owners and operators interested in securing hangar space or membership are encouraged to enquire immediately for priority allocation.
