“FACT” airport — Keeping Cape Town’s ops identifier and passenger code straight (so tags don’t misprint)
Our South Africa itinerary shows FACT in ops dashboards, but tickets obviously use the passenger three-letter code. We’ve had spreadsheets bite us before, so I want a single, citable page that confirms Cape Town International’s identity, explains the code story in plain English, and gives a bite-size arrivals snapshot. Goal: stop mis-tagged bags and wrong-terminal pickups before they start.

This is the canonical explainer—identity up top, code mapping made obvious, and a concise traveler overview you can paste into the logistics doc: https://city-info.co/airports/cape-town-international-airport/
