Atlantic Aerodrome Opens as Cape Town’s Ultimate Aviation Lifestyle Escape

Where flying meets family, breathtaking views and a vibrant community just 40 minutes from the city

This September 2026, the Western Cape welcomes a game-changing new destination for aviation enthusiasts: Atlantic Aerodrome. More than just a place to park your aircraft, this purpose-built premium general aviation and turboprop hub in the scenic Swartland is set to become the region’s premier lifestyle destination for pilots, aircraft owners and their families.

Located just 40 minutes from Cape Town, Atlantic Aerodrome responds to the growing demand for quality, low-congestion aviation facilities. It offers a complete, turnkey solution designed around the modern aviation lifestyle – secure hangarage, professional support services, on-site flight training, and a stunning clubhouse where aviation becomes something the whole family can enjoy.

At the heart of Atlantic Aerodrome lies its spectacular 2,100m² two-level clubhouse, featuring panoramic runway and mountain views, restaurants, bars, VIP lounges, pilot facilities, event spaces and a state-of-the-art children’s play park. Membership programmes (Social, Aviator, VIP and Corporate) invite owners and enthusiasts to become part of a warm, like-minded community where weekend fly-ins, social gatherings and family days create lasting memories.

The clubhouse, restaurant and viewing deck will also be open to members of the public, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy breakfast or lunch while watching aircraft movements against the backdrop of the Swartland.

Whether you’re hosting a private event with spectacular views, relaxing after a flight, or introducing the next generation to aviation, the clubhouse transforms every visit into an experience to savour.

The on-site Flight Training Organisation (FTO) offers PPL, CPL and instrument ratings in a supportive, scenic environment, perfect for those starting their aviation journey or advancing their skills while enjoying the relaxed, community-focused atmosphere.

Aircraft owners benefit from flexible, secure enclosed hangarage tailored to every need, paired with seamless professional support so your aircraft is always ready when adventure calls:

• Ideal for individual aircraft owners seeking cost-effective, secure storage
• Perfect for small operators with single and twin-engine aircraft
• Suited to multi-aircraft operators
• For larger operators, flight schools and charter services

All hangars feature 24/7 biometric security and direct airside access. A dedicated team ensures aircraft are professionally managed, with premium fuel (Mogas, Avgas 100LL, Jet A-1) including bulk discounts and 24/7 mobile refuelling, cleaning, ground handling, certified AMO maintenance partners and planned on-site avionics support.

The airfield includes a grooved asphalt Runway 02/20 (1,241m, with provision to extend to 1,525m in the next phase), full LED lighting for 24/7 operations and a planned GNSS instrument approach, designed in accordance with applicable ICAO Annex 14 and SACAA Part 139 standards.

“Owning an aircraft should be enjoyable from the moment you arrive at the airfield,” said Shane Harrison, Founder.   “Pilots often spend their time worrying about access, security, congestion or simply finding hangar space. We wanted to create a place where people actually look forward to spending the day, whether they’re flying, having breakfast with family, or simply enjoying being part of the aviation community.”
