Naples Capodichino Airport will be closed from 1 to 30 November 2026 for runway redevelopment work. During the closure, part of the flights normally operated at Capodichino will be temporarily transferred to Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport.

An extraordinary bus service has been activated to connect Naples with the Salerno airport while Capodichino is closed.

Eight buses a day between Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Airport

The temporary service runs between Napoli Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport, according to Naples airport operator GESAC, Busitalia Campania, and reporting by Metropolis Web and la Repubblica Napoli.

Key points for travellers:

  • Eight departures per day in each direction.
  • Departures are scheduled in relation to flight times.
  • The one-way fare is 12 euros.
  • Tickets can be bought on board with electronic payment.

The full timetable for the eight daily departures was not published in the sources consulted. Check flight times and bus departure information through official airport and airline channels before travelling.

Connections at Salerno

Connections between Salerno Airport and Salerno railway station will be strengthened during the closure period.

The following existing connections remain active, according to the research sources:

  • Potenza
  • Eboli
  • Battipaglia
  • The Amalfi Coast

Travellers heading to or from those destinations can continue to use those services alongside the temporary Naples–Salerno airport buses.

What to check before you travel

The definitive list of transferred flights and any operational updates must be verified with airlines and the airports. Flight schedules, departure airports, and bus timings may change, so confirm:

  1. The departure or arrival airport shown on your booking.
  2. The current bus departures from Piazza Garibaldi and from Salerno Airport.
  3. Ticket payment arrangements: electronic payment on board is indicated for the temporary Naples–Salerno service.
  4. Onward connections at Salerno railway station.

It is not confirmed in the sources whether the Naples–Salerno bus service will continue after Capodichino reopens.

Tourism concern reported

Tourism operators cited by la Repubblica fear a drop of more than 40% in hotel bookings linked to the month-long closure. That figure is reported as an operators' estimate, not as consolidated data, and no methodology was provided in the sources consulted.
