In preparation for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Cape Town International Airport has been extensively expanded and renovated. The main focus was the development of a Central Terminal Building, which linked the previous separate domestic and international terminals and provided a common check-in area.
Cape Town International Airport is the primary airport serving the city of Cape Town, and is the second busiest airport in South Africa and third busiest in Africa.
