Naples Airport will close for runway work in November 2026
The airport's operator says Naples Airport will be closed in November 2026 for runway renovation work. The dates are not yet published: its notice gives the month and no first or last day. If you travel that month, confirm with your airline which airport the flight uses before you book a transfer. Salerno has its own airport, about 20 km from the city, run by the same company.
Operator's notice dated 21 September 2026. Check aeroportodinapoli.it for the dates.
About This Transfer
Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Naples, the cases go into the car once, and the next time you lift them is at your door in Salerno. Naples Airport to Salerno is about 60 km and about 56 minutes in free-flowing traffic: a short link out of the airport, then the A3 motorway past Pompeii and Vietri sul Mare to the end of the line. The car stops where you are going, which in Salerno may be a ferry pier or the cruise quay rather than a hotel.
Salerno has an airport of its own. Salerno Costa d'Amalfi and Cilento Airport is about 20 km from the city, against about 60 km from Naples, and the same company runs both. If your airline flies there, it is the nearer airport. This page is for the flight that lands at Naples.
The train is the strong alternative on this route, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. No train leaves the airport, so the journey starts with the Alibus to Napoli Centrale, €5 and 15 minutes. From there Trenitalia ran 38 to 45 direct trains a day to Salerno on the days we sampled, most in 38 to 50 minutes, with a regional fare of €5.80. That is €10.80 a person and 53 minutes of riding before any waiting. One traveller with one bag, landing in the daytime and sleeping near the station, should take it.
The catch is everything around those 53 minutes.
There is a bus to wait for, a station to cross with the cases, a train to wait for, and then Salerno station, which is where the train stops and your hotel may not be. Four people pay €43.20 for it and still carry every bag through two interchanges. A private car is quoted per vehicle and goes to the door. For the other towns on this coast, and how arrivals work at Capodichino, see our Naples Airport transfers page. If you are joining a ship, the cruise port transfers page covers transfers to and from the ship.
✓ The A3 motorway all the way to Salerno
✓ About 56 min free flow for around 60 km
✓ Drop at your door, the ferry pier or the cruise quay
Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance while you enjoy the scenery.
Pompeii
The excavated Roman city sits beside the A3, under half an hour from the airport in free-flowing traffic, and it is the one stop on this drive worth planning a day around. Tickets are personal and capped at 20,000 entries a day. Bags larger than 30x30x15 cm are not allowed inside, and left luggage at the Porta Marina and Piazza Anfiteatro entrances is paid. A car that waits with the cases solves that; agree the waiting time with your carrier when you book.
Parco Archeologico di Pompei →Vietri sul Mare
The first town of the Amalfi Coast has its own junction on the motorway, just before Salerno. It is also where the SS163 coast road begins, the 40 km to Positano that fall under the alternating-plate rule on restricted days. If the coast is where you are staying, say so in the request: the car can leave the motorway here instead of going into the city.
Comune di Vietri sul Mare →The Lungomare Trieste and the two harbours
Salerno's seafront promenade runs between its two harbours. At one end is the Porto Masuccio Salernitano, entered from Piazza della Concordia, where the boats to the Amalfi Coast tie up. At the other is the commercial port, with the cruise terminal on Molo Manfredi. They are easy to confuse on a ticket and are not the same stop for a car.
Comune di Salerno →Route Overview
Pickup: Naples Airport (NAP)
Naples has one terminal, so there is only one arrivals hall to find your driver in. A private car is not a taxi and does not use the taxi rank in front of arrivals. The airport gives any other car 15 minutes on its roads before a camera-issued fine of €80 to €318, and its P1 car park has the first 45 minutes free, which is where a driver waiting for a delayed flight can park. The airport reserves separate areas for licensed private-hire cars but does not publish where they are. Confirm the exact meeting point with your carrier in the booking chat before you fly.
Popular Pickup Points:
Drop-off: Salerno
Tell the carrier which Salerno you mean. The railway station is on Piazza Vittorio Veneto. One ferry pier for the Amalfi Coast boats is at Piazza della Concordia, about 540 m from the station by road. The cruise terminal, and the other ferry pier, are on Molo Manfredi in the commercial port, 2.4 km from the station, with its road gate at the end of the street of the same name. A ferry ticket names its pier, and a car can take you to the right one.

Best Travel Times
Summer is the busy side of the year at Naples Airport: in 2025 August was its busiest month and January its quietest, with more than twice the passengers. The 56 minutes on this page is a free-flow figure, and no authority publishes a peak-hour one, so leave your carrier room on a summer afternoon.
Traffic Patterns
The A3 carries about 180,000 vehicles a day by its operator's count. It has three lanes each way from Naples to Scafati and two each way from Scafati to Salerno, so the later part of this drive is the narrower one. The operator posts planned night and lane closures week by week, which matters for a late landing.
Road & Border Notes
No border, and no Amalfi Coast plate rule on the way to Salerno: the drive is the A3, not the coast road. The A3 toll is a flat €2.30 for a car in 2026 and €2.40 for a van or minibus, whatever the distance. The plate rule starts where the SS163 does, at Vietri sul Mare. If you go on from Salerno to Amalfi or Positano by road, it applies from 10:00 to 18:00 on restricted days, and taxis and licensed private-hire cars are exempt.
Carrier Tip
Name the drop: a street address, the Piazza della Concordia pier, the Molo Manfredi cruise terminal or the station. If the coast is your real destination, ask for that instead. Naples Airport straight to Amalfi is 65.3 km and 66 minutes in free flow by the Agerola road, while Salerno station to Amalfi is another 24.7 km and 27 minutes on the coast road after the 60 km to Salerno.

When to Travel This Route
Demand, pricing, and what to expect across the year.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
Low DemandJanuary was the quietest month at Naples Airport in 2025. The port authority gives the Amalfi Coast ferry season from Salerno as March to November, so check any winter sailing with the ferry line before you plan around it. The 08:45 regional bus from the airport does not run from 23 December to 6 January, which leaves only the 16:00 on working days over the holidays.
- Morning regional bus off 23 December to 6 January
- Coast ferries out of season, per the port authority
- Quietest months at the airport
Spring (Mar-May)
Medium DemandThe ferries from Salerno to Amalfi and Positano come back in March, on the port authority's calendar. If you are sailing, the pier is the drop-off to name: Piazza della Concordia is about 540 m from the station by road and Molo Manfredi is 2.4 km from it, so they are not interchangeable.
- Coast ferries from March
- Name the pier on the booking
- Airport traffic rising toward summer
Summer (Jun-Aug)
Peak DemandAugust was the busiest month at Naples Airport in 2025, with more than twice January's passengers. The airport warns that suburban bus times are approximate and longer in high season, and the car shares the same motorway. Book the transfer when you book the flight, and give the carrier the flight number so a delay moves the pickup.
- Busiest months at the airport
- Bus times approximate in high season
- Coast road plate rule on restricted days
Autumn (Sep-Nov)
High DemandAutumn 2026 has one notice that overrides the rest: Naples Airport will be closed for runway work in November, the third-quietest month of 2025, on dates not yet published. Before that, the 2026 season of the coast road plate rule ends on 31 October, and the port authority's ferry season runs to November.
- Naples Airport runway closure in November 2026
- Coast road plate rule ends 31 October 2026
- Ferry season runs to November
