Getting there

From Naples Airport to Naples and the resorts

Naples Airport has no railway or metro station, so every onward journey starts by road. The Alibus links the terminal with Central Station and the port, coaches leave for Sorrento and Salerno from the P Bus stop next to car park P1, and taxis charge the fixed fares of the City of Naples. Prices in the table are official tariffs; times marked “about” are guide values.

History & airlines

The history of Naples Airport

Flying at Capodichino began in 1910, when the first aircraft demonstrations were held on the parade ground known as Campo di Marte; Wikipedia dates the first of them to 5 May 1910. The field became a military airfield in 1918 to defend Naples against air attack and was named in 1921 after Lieutenant Ugo Niutta, an Italian airman of the First World War. Naples Airport opened to commercial traffic in 1950.

The operating company GESAC was founded in 1980 by the City and the Province of Naples and the airline Alitalia. In 1997 the British group BAA bought 70 % of the shares, which made Naples Airport the first privatised airport in Italy, and in 2003 GESAC received a 40-year concession for the whole airport. The low-cost era started in 2000 with Go, the budget airline of British Airways; easyJet opened a base in 2014, Ryanair in 2017, Volotea in 2020 and Wizz Air in 2021. The Italian infrastructure fund F2i took over the majority in 2010.

Naples Airport passed 10 million passengers in a year for the first time in 2019 and reached 13,271,522 in 2025. GESAC has also run Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport since the two companies merged in 2019; Salerno began commercial flights in 2024. GESAC belongs 83.1 % to the holding 2i Aeroporti, 11.9 % to the Metropolitan City of Naples and 5 % to a Salerno consortium, and holds the concession for both airports until 2045.

GESAC closed Naples Airport to all flights from 1 to 30 November 2026 to rebuild the runway and taxiways and to renew the runway lighting. The operator put the investment at €30 million, with about 500 people working around the clock on 250,000 m²; fifteen routes moved to Salerno for the month. A masterplan approved by the aviation authority ENAC in August 2026 provides for more than €250 million of investment by 2035, including a second terminal of about 15,000 m² for non-Schengen flights, and plans for 17.3 million passengers a year by 2035.

Terminal

Terminal and services at Naples Airport

One passenger terminal handles all scheduled and charter flights at Naples Airport. Check-in desks are on the ground floor and are reached through three entrances sorted by airline: entrance 1 for British Airways and Wizz Air among others, entrance 2 for easyJet, ITA Airways and Lufthansa, entrance 3 near arrivals for Ryanair, Air France and KLM. Security control is on the first floor, where passengers scan their boarding pass to enter.

Naples Airport is open from 03:30 to 22:30 and closes overnight for security reasons, except when flights are exceptionally delayed. Check-in desks normally open two hours before departure, or three hours before intercontinental flights. Passengers who are not EU citizens, which includes travellers from the United Kingdom, should allow extra time, because the operator warns that the new Entry/Exit System can lengthen passport control; travellers aged 14 and over with an electronic passport can use the automatic gates.

Free Wi-Fi covers all areas of the terminal of Naples Airport for up to four hours per device, on the network NAPLES_AIRPORT_FREE. The Fast Track lane through security costs €9 and works daily from 05:00 to 20:00. The Pearl Lounge after security is open from 05:00 to 21:00 and was listed at €44 per person in autumn 2026. Left luggage on the first floor is open daily from 04:30 to 22:00 and costs from €10 per bag per day.

One rule surprises many visitors at Naples Airport: fresh cheeses such as mozzarella, provola and fior di latte are not allowed in hand luggage and have to travel in the hold. The usual limit of 100 ml per container applies to other liquids. A second terminal for non-Schengen flights is part of the masterplan to 2035 and has not been built yet.

Arriving passengers at Naples Airport find the onward transport within a short walk of the baggage hall. Alibus tickets are sold at the machines on the ground floor of arrivals, the taxi lane runs in front of the hall, and the Pick-up area about 100 metres away is the meeting point for shared taxis, for the car hire shuttle and for friends collecting passengers by car. A second luggage store about 150 metres from the terminal entrance, open from 08:00 to 20:00, also delivers bags to hotels and to the harbour station of Naples.

Location

Location, access and distances

Naples Airport stands on Viale Fulco Ruffo di Calabria in the Capodichino district, on high ground about 6 km from the centre of Naples. Drivers arriving on the Naples ring road, the Tangenziale, or on the A1, A3 and A16 motorways follow the exit signed Capodichino-Aeroporto. The Tangenziale charges cars a flat toll of €1.05 per passage, a rate in force since 1 January 2026.

The motorway junction beside Naples Airport means that drivers heading for Pompeii, Sorrento, Salerno or Caserta do not have to cross the city centre. Traffic on the roads around the terminal is controlled by cameras: vehicles may stay in the airport's controlled traffic zone for 15 minutes, after which a fine becomes possible. The metro station of Line 1 under construction beside the terminal is designed to bring the centre within 9 minutes, according to the builder, but had no published opening date in November 2026.

The Alibus is the public link between Naples Airport and the rest of the city. According to the transport company ANM a ticket costs €5 and is sold by the driver, at the machines by the arrivals exit, online and through a contactless card tapped on board; an integrated version at the same price stays valid for 90 minutes on other city transport after the Alibus ride. From the airport the bus calls at Piazza Garibaldi for Central Station, at Immacolatella/Porta di Massa inside the port and at Molo Angioino/Beverello by the Stazione Marittima. ANM describes a daily service running up to every 15 minutes from about 05:30 until about midnight; during the runway closure of November 2026 the Alibus ran only from 06:00 to 09:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00.

Coaches for places outside Naples leave from the P Bus stop next to car park P1 and pull in about 10 minutes before departure, according to the airport operator. Curreri Viaggi serves Pompeii, Castellammare di Stabia, Vico Equense, Meta, Piano di Sorrento, Sant'Agnello and Sorrento. Several companies run to Salerno, among them SITA Sud, Air Campania, Busitalia Campania and Cosat, and a shuttle of Beducci Travel Bus links Naples Airport with the Pompeii excavations and with Caserta station. Long-distance coaches of Flixbus and Marinobus also call at Naples Airport, the latter on the way to Taranto, Brindisi and Lecce.

Travellers bound for the eastern Amalfi Coast have a second airport to consider. Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport, run by the same operator, began commercial flights in 2024 and took over fifteen routes while Naples Airport was closed in November 2026, among them Milan, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid and Paris. For Sorrento, Capri, Ischia and Pompeii, Naples Airport remains the nearer of the two.
