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 fly home that month, confirm with your airline which airport the flight leaves from before you book a transfer. In any month, a last-day visit to Pompeii starts with the luggage: nothing larger than 30x30x15 cm is allowed inside, and paid left luggage is at Porta Marina and Piazza Anfiteatro only.
Operator's notice dated 21 September 2026; check aeroportodinapoli.it for the dates. Luggage rule: Parco Archeologico di Pompei, read October 2026.
About This Transfer
The car is waiting on the street of the gate you walk out of, or outside your hotel in Pompei, with the cases already in the boot if it has held them during your visit. Pompeii to Naples Airport is about 28 km and about 27 minutes on a clear road: Via Plinio to the motorway, the A3 north to Naples, then the A1 link, the SS162dir and the Capodichino exit of the Tangenziale. The driver stops in the private-hire bays on the departures road, at the only terminal the airport has.
Pompeii has three gates. The park publishes no list of exits; on its step-free route it names Piazza Anfiteatro and Piazza Esedra as the ways out. Porta Marina is on Via Villa dei Misteri, Piazza Esedra on Piazza Porta Marina Inferiore, and Piazza Anfiteatro on Piazza Immacolata, on the side of the modern town. A ticket is valid for one entry with no re-entry, so once you are out you are out. Agree the pickup gate and the time with the driver before you go in, and ask at the turnstile if you plan to finish somewhere else.
Work back from the flight, not forward from the visit. Naples opens check-in 2 hours before domestic and international departures and 3 hours before intercontinental ones, and the park's own minimum for a visit is 2 to 3 hours. Leaving about two and a half hours before a short-haul departure gets you to the terminal as the desks open, on a clear road. Your airline's check-in closing time is the deadline, so set the pickup from that.
For the drive in the other direction, the three gates and what each is for, see our Naples Airport to Pompeii page. The Naples Airport transfers page covers the terminal, the departures road and the rest of the coast.
✓ About 27 minutes on a clear road, around 28 km
✓ Cases held in the car while you visit, if you ask
✓ Dropped in the private-hire bays at departures
Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance while you enjoy the scenery.
A last-day visit to the excavations
With an afternoon or evening flight the site fits into the last day. The park asks for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours, and a 3-hour visit from the 09:00 opening ends at noon. From 15 October to 15 March the last entry is 15:30 and the site closes at 17:00; from 16 March to 14 October, 17:30 and 19:00.
Parco Archeologico di Pompei, hours and tickets →Oplontis
The Villa of Poppaea at Oplontis belongs to the same park and sits between Pompeii and the airport; heading for Naples the park gives the exit as Torre Annunziata Sud/Boscoreale. It is closed on Tuesdays. Ask for the stop when you post the trip so the waiting time is in the offer.
Parco Archeologico di Pompei, Oplontis →Route Overview
Pickup: Pompeii: the gate you leave by, or the town
The car collects you on the street of the gate you name, or at your hotel in the modern town. The park has no car park of its own; outside there are paid municipal spaces marked with blue lines and private car parks. Neither the park nor the Comune publishes a pick-up bay for the gates, so the exact meeting point is agreed with your carrier in the booking chat. From Porta Marina the routed drive is a little longer, about 29 km and 30 minutes, because Via Villa dei Misteri leads away from the motorway first.
Popular Pickup Points:
Drop-off: Naples Airport (NAP) departures
Naples has one terminal with three entrances; Entrance 3, near arrivals, is the one the airport recommends for Air France, KLM and Ryanair. Licensed private-hire cars drop off only in the dedicated temporary bays on the departures road, for the time it takes to unload you and your luggage, and every car has 15 minutes in the airport road zone. The terminal opens at 03:30 and closes at 22:30. Passengers aged 14 and over with an electronic passport can use the eGates at passport control.

Local Route Knowledge
Practical intelligence from carriers who drive this route regularly.
Best Travel Times
The morning entry slot and an afternoon flight are the combination that works. The site opens at 09:00, the first slot holds 15,000 of the 20,000 daily places, and a visit of the park's minimum length is over by noon. An early flight is the other case for a car: the terminal opens at 03:30, long before a visit is possible, and the pickup is simply your hotel door.
Traffic Patterns
About 18 km of the return is the A3, three lanes each way on this stretch, on a motorway that carries about 180,000 vehicles a day over its whole length. The 27 minutes is the clear-road time, and no authority publishes a traffic-time figure for it. Give your carrier the flight time and let them set the pickup, especially in summer: August 2025 brought the airport more than twice January's passengers.
Road & Border Notes
No border, and no Amalfi Coast plate rule: that rule covers only the SS163 coast road. The A3 is a toll motorway, €2.30 for a car in 2026, and the routed return ends on a short stretch of the Naples Tangenziale, which has its own tariff. The offer should say whether tolls are included.
Carrier Tip
Tell the carrier three things: the flight time, the gate you will leave by, and whether the car holds the luggage during the visit. Keep your phone on inside the site and confirm the pickup when you are walking out.

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 site is on its short day, 09:00 to 17:00 with last entry at 15:30, and it is closed on 25 December and 1 January. The coach from Sorrento does not run on those two days, so a flight on either one needs a car.
- Site open 09:00 to 17:00, last entry 15:30
- Closed 25 December and 1 January
- No coach on 25 December and 1 January
Spring (Mar-May)
High DemandThe long day starts on 16 March: open 09:00 to 19:00, last entry 17:30, which gives a last-day visit more room before an evening flight. Traffic at the airport climbs from April. Admission is free on the first Sunday of every month.
- Summer hours from 16 March
- Airport traffic rises from April
- Free admission on the first Sunday of the month
Summer (Jun-Aug)
Peak DemandAugust was the busiest month at Naples Airport in 2025, with more than twice January's passengers. Tickets for the site are named and sold by slot, 20,000 a day, so buy the morning slot first and then set the pickup around it. Leave more margin for the motorway than the clear-road time suggests.
- Busiest months at the airport
- 20,000 named tickets a day, 15,000 of them in the morning slot
- Site open until 19:00
Autumn (Sep-Nov)
High DemandAutumn 2026 has one notice that overrides the rest: Naples Airport will be closed for runway work in November, on dates not yet published. If you fly home that month, confirm the departure airport with your airline first. Before that, September was the third busiest month at the airport in 2025. The Campania Express tourist train is suspended from 1 October 2026, and the site moves to its short day on 15 October, closing at 17:00. From then a visit before an evening flight has to be over by 17:00.
- Naples Airport runway closure in November 2026
- Campania Express suspended from 1 October 2026
- Winter hours from 15 October, closing at 17:00
