CPT Airport Code: Cape Town Airport IATA & ICAO

Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is stored for Cape Town, South Africa. ICAO FACT. Timezone Africa/Johannesburg. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

CPT is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Cape Town International Airport in Cape Town, South Africa (ZA). The matching ICAO identifier is FACT. Travel agents see CPT on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example CPTLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO FACT is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Africa/Johannesburg. This code page explains how CPT is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for South Africa: JNB (Johannesburg). Related IATA city code in this dataset: CPT. To turn a booked PNR that contains CPT into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is CPT, not a similar code.
Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains CPT.
Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for CPT.
Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 CPTLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read CPT as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If CPT is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
