About Naples International Airport

Naples International Airport (NAP), also called Capodichino, serves Naples in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is operated by GESAC and is the busiest airport in southern Italy.

Low-cost airlines carry much of the traffic. easyJet, Ryanair, Volotea and Wizz Air fly to cities across Italy and Europe, while ITA Airways connects Naples with Rome and Milan. Network airlines such as Air France, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines link Naples to their hubs, and Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Airlines run seasonal flights to the United States.

All flights use a single terminal, Terminal 1. The airport sits in the Capodichino district, about 6 km north-east of the city center, and the Tangenziale urban highway connects it with the city and the motorway network. The Alibus links it with Napoli Centrale station and the port.

From the airport, many travelers head into Naples itself or continue to Sorrento, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. Others take ferries and hydrofoils from the port of Naples to Capri and Ischia.

Arrival tips for Naples International Airport

If you arrive from outside the Schengen area, you go through passport control first, where automated eGates are available for eligible passports. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Collect your bags in the baggage hall and pass through customs into the arrivals area. The terminal is compact, so the exit is a short walk.

Outside the arrivals exit you will find the official taxi rank, the Alibus stop and the bus area, including the Curreri bus to Sorrento on the far right. Licensed taxis are white with a TAXI light on the roof; confirm the fixed rate before you set off. Pre-booked drivers usually wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign. Ignore anyone who approaches you inside the terminal offering a ride.

Naples has hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. The local time is Central European Time, and the currency is the euro.

Ground transportation

The Alibus suits most travelers heading into central Naples or to the ferry port, while a taxi, the Curreri bus or a private transfer works better for Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

  • Alibus to Naples center and port

    The Alibus stops outside arrivals and runs about every 20 to 30 minutes to Piazza Garibaldi (Napoli Centrale), taking 25 to 35 minutes, then continues to Molo Beverello for ferries. Traffic can lengthen the trip at rush hour.

  • Taxi from Naples airport

    White licensed taxis wait at the official rank outside arrivals. Fixed rates apply to Napoli Centrale, Molo Beverello and Mergellina, so agree on the fixed rate before you leave.

  • Curreri bus to Sorrento

    Curreri buses leave from the bus area outside Terminal 1 arrivals and reach Piazza Lauro in Sorrento in about 90 minutes. There are about eight departures a day, from around 09:00 to 19:30, and summer weekends can sell out.

  • Regional buses

    Regional buses connect the airport with Salerno, Caserta, Avellino and Benevento. Services are less frequent than the Alibus, so check timetables before you travel.

  • Rideshare

    Uber operates at Naples airport with options such as Uber Black and Van. The app shows where to meet your driver after you request a ride.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you in arrivals and drives you directly to Naples, Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast. It avoids changes between bus, train and ferry but must be arranged in advance.
