  "account": "Napoli-Capodichino airport will remain closed in November for runway work, costing 30 million euros. Travelers will need to move to the new Salerno-Pontecagnano airport. Gesac, the company managing the Naples airport, has launched an extra shuttle service between Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Costa d'Amalfi and Costa di Cilento airports. The service includes 8 daily trips each way, timed to accommodate passengers during flight times. Tickets cost 12 euros each way, with electronic payment at the airport. Additional services between Salerno airport and train station, and connections to Potenza, Eboli, Battipaglia and the Amalfi Coast, are set to remain. The runway will undergo a deep renovation to address maintenance needs and ensure safety and efficiency. Gesac also has a masterplan for upgrading and developing the Naples airport. The masterplan aims for sustainable growth, increasing traffic from 13 million annual passengers to 17.3 million by 2035, without expanding working hours to respect the city's sustainability requirements. An additional 170,000 square meters of new areas will be acquired, and a second terminal for extra Schengen flights, new parking spots for aircraft, a cargo-logging area, an airport hotel, and new infrastructure will be constructed. The project includes over 13 million euros for environmental sustainability efforts. Gesac, a predominantly private capital company managing both Naples and Salerno airports, is controlled by 2i Aeroporti Spa (83.1%), the Metropolitan City (11.9%), and the Salerno Airport Consortium (5%). Growth will be driven by larger aircraft, increased flight load factors, and more efficient scheduling with better hourly distribution and reduced traffic intensity. Special attention is given to accessibility and integration with the city.",
