Salerno Airport capacity increase and infrastructure needs

Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport is preparing for a significant increase in passenger traffic due to the temporary closure of Naples International Airport for runway redevelopment in November 2026.

To manage the influx, airlines such as Air Cairo and Eurowings are transferring or launching specific flight routes to destinations including Sharm El Sheikh and Stuttgart. In response to the expected growth, GESAC and Busitalia Campania are implementing extraordinary bus services between Naples Piazza Garibaldi and Salerno Airport, while also increasing shuttle services to the local railway station and surrounding areas.

Labor representatives from the FILT CGIL union, including Carmen Morra and Gianluca Petrone, have expressed concerns regarding local infrastructure. They have called for urgent improvements to road access, public transport, and traffic management. The union emphasized that to reach passenger targets and support carriers like easyJet, the region must invest in modern mobility networks, such as metro and rail links, and complete the new airport terminal.
