Where it sits
34.0°S, 18.6°E puts CPT in the southern hemisphere, 3,778 km from the equator and 6,230 km from the South pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 633rd most northerly, which makes it the 29th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 34.0°N, 161.4°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Lihue (LIH) in United States, still 1,349 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is George (GRJ), 348 km away in a straight line. Nothing else on this site is within 100 km.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
