Fisantekraal airport - good positioning?

Fisantekraal airport - good positioning?

Fisantekraal is 40 mins drive from the CBD of Cape Town along the N1 on a good traffic day. 

The spatial dynamics of Cape Town must be playing a part in the positioning of the proposed new airport, namely;

• That the DA led City wants a westward expansion along the N7 for affordable housing and the accompanying City run - My City service
• That the Southern and Eastern Suburbs are becoming over-crowded and densification of these residential suburbs is happening - sectionalizing and sub-division is a continued trend
• That the affordability of the Northern Suburbs versus the Southern Suburbs is a real factor (value for money) driving younger families to move into these suburbs
• That road crowding is a real issue and transporters and distribution centres that can move away from the Port are doing so - along the N7 and N1 corridors
• The proposed second CBD in Bellville to alleviate transport pressure in the City Centre

All in all, it may well be a good cargo destination as well as a commuter hub
