Naples Capodichino Airport to undergo major renovations and security upgrades

Naples Capodichino Airport is undergoing a complete closure for the month of November to facilitate essential maintenance and modernization. Managed by Gesac, the 30 million euro project involves the renovation of the runway, taxiways, and lighting systems. Approximately 500 workers are operating around the clock to complete the work on the 250,000 square meter site.

As part of the terminal modernization, new X-ray scanners are being installed. These advanced machines will allow passengers to keep liquids and electronic devices, such as laptops, inside their carry-on luggage during security checks, rather than placing them in separate bins. This upgrade aims to accelerate security processing and reduce congestion.

During the closure, some commercial flights have been redirected to Salerno Costa d’Amalfi e del Cilento Airport, which serves 15 destinations, including international routes to Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dubai, and Madrid. Travelers are advised to check itineraries, as airlines may modify or cancel flights. A shuttle service is also available to connect the airport area to Napoli Centrale for 12 euros.
