Damecuta (Capri) Heliport
Capri is one of Italy’s most iconic island destinations, famous for its dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise waters and long-standing reputation as a playground for international jet-set travellers. Rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the coast of Naples, the island has attracted emperors, artists and entrepreneurs for centuries, drawn by its extraordinary scenery and refined Mediterranean lifestyle.
Unlike many Mediterranean destinations, Capri does not have a fixed-wing airport, meaning visitors typically arrive either by yacht, high-speed ferry or helicopter. For private aviation travellers, the fastest and most exclusive way to reach the island is by helicopter transfer to Capri Heliport (LIQC), Via Damecuta, 80071 Anacapri, Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania, Italy, located on the plateau above Anacapri on the island’s western side.
Helicopter transfers to Capri commonly depart from Naples International Airport or Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport, with typical flight times of around 15–20 minutes depending on routing and weather conditions. These short transfers allow private jet passengers arriving on the mainland to bypass ferry schedules and reach the island quickly and discreetly.
Due to Capri’s size and the heliport’s elevated location above the town of Anacapri, helicopter operations are carefully managed and generally restricted to daylight hours, with specific operating windows and movement limitations in place during the busy summer season. Demand for helicopter transfers is particularly high between Naples, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, making advance coordination essential during peak travel periods.
Upon arrival, visitors are only minutes from many of Capri’s most famous landmarks, including the luminous Blue Grotto, the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations, and the elegant piazzas of Capri town where designer boutiques and renowned restaurants line the narrow streets. For private jet travellers exploring the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Naples, helicopter transfers to Capri remain the most efficient and seamless way to reach one of the Mediterranean’s most glamorous islands.

Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport
Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport, also known as Salerno–Pontecagnano Airport, is one of the closest aviation gateways to Italy’s legendary Amalfi Coast. Located in Pontecagnano Faiano approximately 21 kilometres south of the city of Salerno, the airport provides convenient access to the southern end of the Amalfi coastline and the surrounding Campania region.
Following extensive runway and infrastructure upgrades, the airport reopened in July 2024, significantly improving access for both commercial and private aviation. Its reopening has positioned Salerno as an increasingly attractive alternative to the much busier Naples International Airport for travellers heading directly to the Amalfi Coast.
Private jet travellers arriving at Salerno Airport (QSR / LIRI) benefit from its proximity to the coastline. In normal traffic conditions, transfers to central Salerno typically take around 25 minutes, while the drive to Positano or Amalfi usually takes around 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 45 minutes, depending on traffic along the famous coastal road.
The airport is capable of accommodating a range of business aviation aircraft and is particularly convenient for travellers continuing their journey along the coast by private car transfer, yacht or helicopter. Many visitors also combine their arrival with onward travel to destinations such as Ravello, Capri or the island of Ischia.
With its modernised facilities and strategic location close to the southern Amalfi Coast, Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport is rapidly becoming an important gateway for travellers arriving by private jet to explore one of Italy’s most celebrated coastal regions.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from the Amalfi Coast.
What is the closest airport to the Amalfi Coast for private jets?
The closest airport depends on where along the coast you are travelling. Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport (QSR / LIRI) is geographically closest to the southern Amalfi Coast, while Naples International Airport (NAP / LIRN) remains the region’s primary private aviation gateway due to its larger runway and infrastructure. From either airport, travellers typically continue by private car, yacht or helicopter to destinations such as Positano, Amalfi or Ravello.
How do private jet passengers typically travel from Naples or Salerno to Capri?
Private jet passengers travelling to Capri typically land at Naples International Airport (NAP) or Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport (QSR) before continuing to the island by helicopter. Flights from Naples usually take around 15 minutes, while transfers from Salerno take around 20 minutes, allowing travellers to bypass ferry schedules and reach Capri quickly. Helicopters normally land at the Capri Heliport in Anacapri, the island’s main authorised landing site, where movements are controlled with daily limits and slot coordination, particularly during the busy summer season. Helicopters cannot freely land at private villas or hotels unless an authorised helipad and permissions are in place.
Can long-range private jets fly directly to the Amalfi Coast from the United States?
Yes. Long-range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650, Falcon 8X and Bombardier Global 7500 regularly fly nonstop between North America and Naples, which serves as the primary international gateway for private jet travel to the Amalfi Coast.
Can private jets land on the island of Capri?
No. Capri does not have a fixed-wing airport. Instead, private jet passengers typically land at Naples or Salerno before continuing by helicopter to Capri Heliport (LIQC) near Anacapri. Helicopter transfers usually take 15–20 minutes depending on the departure airport.
