Cape Town International Airport has won the 2021 Best Airport in Africa Award for the sixth consecutive time at the annual Skytrax World Airport Awards. The airport has also won the Best Airport Staff as well as Cleanest Airport in Africa.
Award winning airports are chosen by customers, according to Skytrax’s official website.
Western Cape Province which is home to the airport stated that winning the best airport award is “even more significant” considering the challenging year that the travel industry has experienced.
The province is looking forward to welcoming visitors to the town when the tourism and travel industry recovers. This they say is a strategy to save jobs and rebuild the economy.
