Naples International Airport (IATA: NAP, ICAO: LIRN), also known as Aeroporto di Napoli Capodichino Ugo Niutta, is the primary airport serving Naples and the wider Campania region. Located approximately 6 kilometres north northeast of the city centre, the airport provides one of the most convenient gateways for private jet charter flights to and from Naples.
Because of its proximity to the city, transfer times from Naples International Airport to central Naples typically take 15 to 20 minutes in normal traffic conditions, making it a highly efficient airport for travellers visiting southern Italy for business or leisure.
The airport operates a 2,628 metre runway, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of aircraft including light, midsize and large cabin business jets operating regional and international flights across Europe and beyond. Dedicated private aviation services are available, including specialised handling, VIP passenger facilities, customs clearance and luxury ground transportation.
Naples International Airport handles millions of passengers each year and operates throughout most hours of the day. While commercial airline traffic is significant during peak periods, private jet movements are regularly coordinated through dedicated handling services to ensure efficient arrivals and departures.
The airport also serves as the main aviation gateway to some of southern Italy’s most famous destinations. From Naples, travellers can easily reach Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast, while helicopter transfers from the airport frequently connect passengers with nearby islands including Capri and Ischia. A helicopter flight from Naples to Capri typically takes around 20 minutes, providing one of the fastest ways to reach the island.
In addition to Naples International Airport, private jet travellers visiting the Amalfi Coast may also operate through Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport, which lies further south along the coastline and can provide convenient access to destinations such as Positano, Amalfi and Ravello.
Because of its strategic location, established aviation infrastructure and proximity to southern Italy’s most famous destinations, Naples International Airport remains the primary airport for private jet charter flights to and from Naples, providing efficient access to the Bay of Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.
