Naples International Airport, also known as Capodichino, is scheduled for a total shutdown from November 1 to November 30, 2026. The closure is necessary to facilitate a 30 million euro runway and taxiway reconstruction project managed by GESAC. The renovation aims to improve safety, stability, and operational reliability as part of a long-term plan to increase annual passenger capacity from 13 million to 17.3 million by 2035.

During the month-long period, flight operations will be redirected to the Salerno Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport, which is expected to serve 15 destinations including Milan, Paris, and Dubai. To support travelers, management and the aviation authority ENAC have arranged alternative transport, such as extraordinary bus services between Naples Piazza Garibaldi and the Salerno airport, as well as additional railway links and shared taxis. The construction site, managed by ADR Infrastrutture, is expected to employ approximately 500 people working 24/7.
