History
In May 2026, the airport's proposal received support from the National Airspace Committee (NASCOM).[3]
In June 2026, it was reported that Lulenco Plant Hire, Exeo Khokela Civil Engineering Construction, and NK Development Solutions had been appointed to the project. The Aerodrome set a Phase 1 opening date of September 2026, which would include core facilities. Phase 2 would then bring about a runway extension, additional hangar capacity, expanded FBO services, and more guest accommodation.[4] The development cost was estimated to be between R400 and 500 million.[3]
In July 2026, it was reported that Phase 2 of the airport's development had been merged into Phase 1. The first phase included an 884-meter runway with taxiways, however this is intended to be upgraded to a 1,250-meter runway in the next phase.[5]
In July 2026, it was reported that the flight school located at Cape Winelands Airport would move to the Atlantic Aerodrome, as the former was preparing to undergo redevelopment into a new international airport.[5]
Location
The Aerodrome is situated on Rondeberg Road, in the Cape Farm region of the City of Cape Town metro. The facility sits just off the N7 freeway, within a farming region, close to Kalbaskraal.[6]
It is located approximately 22 km from Malmesbury, 25 km from the coast at Koeberg Nature Reserve, and 50 km from Cape Town CBD.
