What we do
Cape Town Air Access is a global award-winning air-route development project, acting as the focal point for pro-active air route development, for both passengers and air cargo, in Cape Town and the Western Cape.
The project is powered by Wesgro - The Tourism, Trade & Investment Promotion Agency for Cape Town and the Western Cape, and through a multi-party collaborative effort between six government entities and the private sector, we strive to improve air connectivity and capacity for the Western Cape province, in a sustainable manner, whilst increasing economic competitiveness and job creation.
