Naples Airport to close for the whole of November for €30m revamp – here’s what passengers need to know

The Italian airport will shut for the entire month of November for major runway upgrades, with flights diverted to nearby Salerno and extra bus and taxi services planned to limit disruption.

Naples Airport will be closed entirely for the month of November to undergo a €30 million renovation project. The closure is necessary to improve the runway and taxiways, enhance safety, reliability, and operational continuity. Additionally, the airport's visual aids lighting systems, including runway and taxiway lighting and illuminated signaling systems, will be upgraded to aid aircraft during take-off, landing, and taxiing, particularly in poor visibility conditions.

The €30 million project will be carried out continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to minimize inconvenience. To mitigate disruption, airlines plan to transfer passengers to nearby Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento airports, operated by carriers such as Ryanair, easyJet, and Vueling. These flights will serve destinations like Bergamo, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Genoa, Turin, Trieste, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Casablanca, Dubai, Düsseldorf, Madrid, Paris, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Stuttgart.

To accommodate the closure, additional bus services between Naples Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Airport will run throughout November, along with increased services to Salerno railway station. A trial shared taxi service with fixed fares is also available, covering routes to Naples Central railway station and Salerno Central railway station.
