Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport growth requires infrastructure upgrades

The Filt Cgil union has expressed satisfaction regarding the growth and organizational capacity of the Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport, noting its ability to handle increased flight volumes. However, union leaders Carmen Morra and Gianluca Petrone warned that current infrastructure and local transport links are not keeping pace with the airport’s expansion.

The union is calling on the Campania Region, local municipalities, and relevant authorities to accelerate the implementation of critical transport projects. Key priorities include extending the metropolitan railway to the airport, enhancing rail connections, improving highway junctions, and creating an integrated public transport system to link the airport with major tourist destinations.

Beyond physical infrastructure, the union emphasized the need for a shared strategy to leverage the airport’s potential for economic, employment, and tourism development across Salerno, the Amalfi Coast, the Sorrento Coast, and Cilento.
