Frequently Asked Questions

Are there alternate airports to Cape Town International for private flights?

Yes. While Cape Town International (CPT) is the main gateway and best equipped for most operations, there are smaller airfields such as Cape Winelands Airport and Ysterplaat Air Base. These can be relevant for certain itineraries — for example, when travelling directly to wine country or when avoiding peak traffic at CPT. However, facilities are more limited than at the main airport.

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Cape Town?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Cape Town. Dogs and cats must be microchipped (ISO standard) before or at the same time as their rabies vaccination, with vaccination given between 30 days and 12 months before travel. A veterinary health certificate from a licensed vet within ~10 days of export is required, plus an import permit. Pets must be free of parasites and communicable diseases. If all conditions are met, no quarantine is usually required. LunaJets will verify all pet travel documents are in order before your arrival.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Cape Town?

All travellers flying privately to Cape Town must comply with South Africa’s entry rules. Many nationalities can enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Passports should be valid for at least 30 days after departure and have blank pages for immigration stamps. Arrivals from yellow fever zones must show a yellow fever vaccination certificate. LunaJets will confirm your nationality’s specific entry requirements and ensure all documents are prepared before your flight.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Cape Town?

It’s best to book several weeks ahead, particularly during the South African summer (December to February), when tourism peaks, and around major events such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival. Demand also rises during the holiday season. LunaJets often arranges flights to Cape Town at short notice, even during busy periods.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Cape Town International Airport?

No. Cape Town International Airport (CPT) operates 24/7 for flight movements. Private jets can arrive or depart at any time, and the dedicated FBOs provide round-the-clock handling on request.
