Official Update from GESAC: Naples Airport to Close in November 2026 – Here’s What You Need to Know
f you are planning your trip to Campania, it is essential to be aware of the runway requalification plan at Naples Capodichino Airport. In compliance with safety regulations, the airport will be closed for a concentrated period for radical and programmed work.
Official Closure Period: November 2026 (Date postponed and reduced compared to initial forecasts).
Reason: Runway requalification interventions.
Estimated Duration: Less than 30 days (Some sources aim for 15-20 days).

The Primary Destination: Salerno Airport
The fundamental question for every traveler is: “Where will flights be diverted during the closure?”
The Salerno-Costa d’Amalfi and Cilento Airport is the most logical and strategic answer for service continuity in Campania:
- Simplified Logistics: Salerno is managed by GESAC (the same company as Naples). This makes regional traffic diversion the simplest and most natural option for authorities.
- Privileged Destination: During the Naples stop, Salerno is expected to absorb a significant portion of the diverted flights.

Attention: The Full Picture of Diversions
It’s important to note that the volume of traffic managed by Capodichino (up to 12 million passengers) requires a broader strategy:
However, some flights (especially international and intercontinental ones) may not find slots in Salerno and may be rescheduled by airlines to nearby airports outside the region, such as Rome (Fiumicino/Ciampino), Bari, Pescara, or Foggia.
Salerno is the privileged destination, especially for flights with a strong regional component.
This scenario makes choosing your logistical base in Campania even more crucial!
