Cape Town International Airport serves as the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub, handling both full-service carriers and low-cost airlines; domestic flights to Johannesburg and Durban are frequent while long-haul services connect to Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa. The airport sits about 20–25 km from the city center, with drive times typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Transport options include metered taxis and ride-hailing (shorter times at higher fares), airport shuttle coaches and limited MyCiTi bus services (cheaper but slower), and car hire. Pros: efficient international facilities and good airline choice; cons: can be busy during peak season and road congestion may extend transfer times.

The airport sits about 15–20 km northeast of Sharjah city center and typically takes 20–35 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; fares can usually range from roughly AED 25–60. Public buses and shared shuttles link to central areas and nearby emirates but can be slower.
