Naples International Airport

Naples-Capodichino International Airport (named after aviator Ugo Niutta) is the main airport in Campania and one of the most important in Italy by passenger traffic, consistently ranking among the country's top five airports.

Key features and overview:

Strategic Location One of Capodichino's most distinctive features is its extreme proximity to the city center. Located roughly 4–5 km (2.5–3 miles) northeast of Naples, it sits directly within the urban area between the Capodichino, Secondigliano, and San Pietro a Patierno neighborhoods. This proximity makes it exceptionally convenient to reach compared to most international airports.

Terminals and Infrastructure The airport operates primarily through a single, large passenger terminal (Terminal 1), which has been continuously expanded, modernized, and digitized to handle high tourist volumes.

• On-Site Services: Includes a shopping area with local and international brands, a wide range of dining options featuring Neapolitan cuisine, VIP lounges, free Wi-Fi, and fast-track services.

• The Runway: Features a single runway, requiring precise engineering and logistical management to handle high daily takeoff and landing volumes.

Airlines and Connectivity Capodichino serves as a strategic base for major budget airlines (such as Ryanair and easyJet), connecting Naples to major European capitals and numerous domestic destinations. Legacy carriers also operate scheduled flights, including direct seasonal transatlantic routes to the United States.

Ground Transportation (City Connections) The airport is connected to the city and broader region via:

• Alibus: An express shuttle service linking the airport directly to Central Station (Piazza Garibaldi) and the Port (Molo Beverello / Porta di Massa) for ferry connections to the islands.

• Taxi and Car: Accessible via the Naples Ring Road (Tangenziale).

• Metro: Construction on the Metro Line 1 station (Capodichino Aeroporto) features a futuristic design that will connect the airport directly to the city's subway network.

Award-Winning Experience Airport management (GESAC) has received multiple international awards for service efficiency, environmental sustainability, and urban regeneration. For arriving passengers, the airport provides a modern, welcoming gateway with strong local cultural touches
