Naples International Airport to close for month-long runway renovation

Naples International Airport will undergo a total shutdown from November 1 to November 30, 2026, to facilitate a major runway and infrastructure renovation project. The renovation, estimated to cost approximately €30 million (roughly 730 million CZK), is intended to improve runway safety, stability, and operational reliability.

During the month-long closure, all arrivals and departures will be suspended. Travelers heading to Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and southern Italy will be redirected to the nearby Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport. To assist passengers, GESAC, the airport management company, and the aviation authority ENAC have announced alternative transport arrangements, including additional buses, railway links, and shared taxis.

The project is part of a broader long-term expansion plan. While the airport currently handles about 13 million passengers annually, management aims to increase this capacity to 17.3 million passengers per year by 2035, which includes plans for a new terminal and land acquisitions.
