Naples Airport Closure November 2026: Travel Guide

Naples International Airport (Capodichino) will be closed from 1 to 30 November 2026 for runway renovation works. If you are planning to visit Naples during this period, here is everything you need to know about flight changes, alternative airports and how to reach the city.

The airport closure does not mean you have to cancel your trip. Salerno Airport, Rome's airports and Italy's rail network offer several alternatives. The most important thing is to check your travel arrangements in advance.

Why Is Naples Airport Closing in November 2026?

The closure is necessary to carry out major renovation works on the runway and airport taxiways, aimed at improving the airport's safety and operational reliability.

During November 2026, airlines may adjust their schedules, transfer certain flights to alternative airports or cancel some services.

Not all Naples flights will automatically be moved to Salerno. Arrangements depend on the airline and the individual booking.

How to Reach Naples from Salerno Airport

Salerno Costa d'Amalfi e del Cilento Airport is one of the main alternatives to Naples Capodichino.

Several transport options are available for reaching Naples during November 2026.

Direct Bus from Salerno Airport to Naples

One of the most convenient options is the direct bus service between Salerno Airport and Naples Piazza Garibaldi.

The special service is scheduled to offer:

• 8 daily departures in each direction.
• Tickets costing €12 per person, each way.
• Electronic payment on board.
• Timetables coordinated with flight schedules.

This service allows passengers to travel directly to Naples without changing transport at Salerno railway station.

Before travelling, check the latest timetables on the official Busitalia website.

From Salerno Airport to Naples by Shuttle and Train

Another option is to combine two services:

1. Salerno Airlink: take the airport shuttle to Salerno railway station.
2. Train: continue from Salerno station to Napoli Centrale.

The airport shuttle generally takes around 40 minutes to reach Salerno railway station. A specific timetable is planned for November, with services varying according to the day.

Before choosing this option, check that your shuttle and train connections are compatible, especially if your flight arrives late in the evening or departs early in the morning.

Private Transfers and Car Hire

If you prefer a journey without changes, you can consider a pre-booked private transfer, a rental car or a licensed taxi.

Always request a complete quote in advance, specifying the number of passengers, luggage and your final destination in Naples.

Travelling to Naples via Rome Airports

If there are no suitable flights to Salerno, you may consider flying to Rome Fiumicino or Rome Ciampino and continuing to Naples by train or bus.

From Rome Fiumicino to Naples

From Fiumicino Airport, you can take an airport train to Roma Termini and then continue to Napoli Centrale.

High-speed trains between Roma Termini and Napoli Centrale generally take just over one hour.

However, remember to allow additional time for leaving the airport, reaching the station and waiting for your train.

If you book your flight and train separately, allow enough time between connections in case of flight delays.

From Rome Ciampino to Naples

From Ciampino Airport, you can use local transport connections to reach a railway station or a long-distance bus service to Naples.

Compare the total journey time carefully: a cheaper flight may require a longer and more complicated transfer after landing.

Travelling Directly to Naples by Train

For travellers departing from another Italian city, taking the train may be particularly convenient during the airport closure.

Napoli Centrale is connected to Rome, Florence, Bologna, Milan and many other Italian cities.

Travelling by train allows you to arrive directly in Naples without needing an additional airport transfer.

Before booking, compare the overall cost, journey duration, number of connections and ticket cancellation or change conditions.

Flight Cancelled: What Should You Do?

If your flight is cancelled, you may be entitled to a refund or alternative transport arrangements under the applicable European air passenger rights regulations.

Whether you are also entitled to financial compensation depends on the circumstances of the cancellation and how far in advance you were informed.

Before accepting an alternative, check the new airport, departure times, included transfers and ticket conditions.

Keep copies of airline communications and receipts for any additional expenses.

Tips from Hotel Il Convento

Check your flight before arranging your transfer. A change of airport can significantly affect how long it takes to reach Naples.

If you land at Salerno Airport, first consider the direct bus to Piazza Garibaldi. It may be easier than combining the airport shuttle with a train.

If you fly into Rome, allow sufficient time between landing and your train departure, particularly when purchasing separate tickets.

Check your return flight too. Your outbound and return journeys may have different arrangements, especially if your trip includes the last days of October or the beginning of December.

Finally, if you are staying at Hotel Il Convento, please let us know if your expected arrival time changes. Our reception team will be happy to help you find the most convenient route to the hotel.
