Disruption details

Naples Capodichino Airport in Italy will suspend all flights from 1 to 30 November 2026 while major runway refurbishment takes place. The planned closure covers the entire month, with some services temporarily moving to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport.

Passengers should check their airport and allow plenty of time for both arrivals and departures. A transfer to Salerno could change your journey to or from the airport, even if you're still able to travel on your intended route.

Naples Capodichino Airport handled more than 13.2 million passengers and 89,275 aircraft movements in 2025. The runway work forms part of a €30 million project.

The airport has described the refurbishment as extensive, scheduled work carried out to meet safety regulations and maintain its highest safety standards.

Alongside runway improvements, the project includes a second terminal for flights outside the Schengen travel area, including services to and from the United Kingdom. The wider development is also expected to bring a nearby hotel, better road links, and improved underground connections.

To keep some connections available during the closure, Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport will handle services to 15 domestic and international destinations. The destinations listed for operations from Salerno are:

• Domestic: Bergamo, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Genoa, Turin, and Trieste

• International: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Casablanca, Dubai, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Madrid, Paris, and Sharm el-Sheikh

Airlines serving these destinations include Ryanair, easyJet, Aeroitalia, ITA Airways, Transavia, Transavia France, Air Arabia Maroc, flydubai, Eurowings, Iberia, Air Cairo, and Neos. If you're booked with one of these airlines, check your individual booking rather than assuming every service will transfer.

Extra ground transport is planned to help passengers reach Salerno Airport. The arrangements include:

• Special bus services will run in both directions between Naples Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Airport.

• Buses between Salerno Airport and Salerno railway station will run more frequently.

• Connections to Potenza, Eboli, Battipaglia, and the Amalfi Coast will continue.

• Shared taxis will offer fixed fares between Salerno Airport and the main railway stations in Naples and Salerno.

Before setting off, check your airline's messages for your departure airport and any revised travel arrangements. If your flight has moved to Salerno, review your ground transport plans too, particularly if you originally arranged a transfer to Naples Capodichino.

Compensation is unlikely for affected EU and UK flights because this is a planned closure announced in advance.
