Cape Town International Airport is expecting to hit the 10-million passenger mark before the end of the year - a massive milestone for the airport that has seen a plume of direct connectivity take off in 2016. 

The growth is largely attributed to the Western Cape's Cape Town Air Access initiative, which has seen a R3-billion injection into the province's economy through its initiation six new direct routes to the mother city since 2015. 

By securing six new routes and eight route expansions into the province, the initiative has resulted in an increase in the Western Cape's air arrivals of more than 500 000 passengers, according to Western Cape Minister for transport and public works Donald Grant.
