Anthony Acconcia presented the Autostazione di Avellino as a long-awaited facility intended to work as an interchange hub for urban and extra-urban travel, according to IrpiniaNews. He described it as a “Hub fondamentale per il territorio.”
The facility was delivered to the city in 2022 after construction delays linked to the pandemic and administrative complications, according to IrpiniaNews. AIR Campania reports its inauguration on 7 September 2022.
SITA SUD services were transferred to the Autostazione, with departures assigned to stands 12 and 12bis, according to IrpiniaNews. The move concentrates departures inside the new terminal rather than at separate stops.
The terminal is located on via Francesco Fariello, with vehicle access at the intersection of via Moccia and via Fariello, according to AIR Campania. The operator lists 24 bus stands, an infopoint and ticket office, covered parking, accessibility spaces and electric-vehicle charging spaces.
The Autostazione connects Avellino with destinations across Campania and with selected destinations in Lazio, Puglia and Molise, according to AIR Campania. Listed connections include Naples, Caserta, Afragola, Capodichino and several universities.
AIR Campania describes the project as an intermodal facility for alternative and sustainable mobility, with an overall area of approximately 20,000 square metres. Construction costs were reported at approximately 28 million euros at inauguration.
Nuova Irpinia reported that the terminal became fully operational in January 2023, with 370 daily departures and an estimated 18,000 passengers per day. The same report described it as the single bus terminal for Avellino. The terminal also serves as an interchange for urban lines after the reorganization of local public transport routes.
The 2022 inauguration projection cited 400 daily departures, a different figure from the 370 daily departures reported in January 2023. Passenger-volume figures were reported as estimates or projections. Current departure times and route availability require checking AIR Campania’s latest notices.
