Naples-Capodichino International Airport (NAP) serves Naples and the Italian region of Campania. Built as a military airport that held great importance during the two world wars, Naples International Airport began commercial use in 1950 and has been developing ever since, despite its small size.

The airport serves as a base for a wide network of airlines: Major Carriers, Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, ITA Airways, British Airways, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Air France and Iberia.

NAP connects to major European cities, Balkan and Mediterranean hubs, Middle East routes and seasonal holiday destinations.

A significant share of flights support tourism to the Amalfi Coast and Naples’ archaeological heritage.

The airport has one terminal building, Terminal 1, with airside sections A, B and C handling all domestic and international flights. The landside ground level features the check-in and arrivals areas, while the upper level features the main departures area A with most shops. The airside ground level contains sections B and C, with the latter being used for non-Schengen departures. As the airport does not feature jet-bridges, buses are in use. Several areas of the terminal have been refurbished and expanded in recent years.

The airport is easily accessible from all the cities thanks to the exit of the so-called "Tangenziale", an urban highway (A56) connecting the city of Naples to the metropolitan area and highways to Rome and Caserta (A1), Salerno (A3) and Bari, Benevento and Avellino (A16). Fixed taxi rates are in use for the main destinations within the city limits of Naples from the Airport to: Naples Centre, Molo Beverello (Port), and Mergellina.

Bus line Alibus, operated by ANM, connect the airport to Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Municipio. The distance from the airport to the city centre is about 7 km. 

As of 2025, the Capodichino Aeroporto station on Naples Metro's Line 1 is under construction to connect the airport with the current terminus at Naples' central station. It is expected to be finished by 2027.

In Magelline's view, Naples–Capodichino International Airport (NAP) is the fiery threshold of Southern Italy, a gateway shaped by sea winds, ancient history, and the quiet presence of Mount Vesuvius. Here, flights land over a glittering gulf, where pastel-colored houses climb the hills, and every descent reveals Naples as a living, breathing canvas of passion, chaos, poetry, and light.
NAP is not just an airport. It is the beginning of the Italian South, where the journey becomes warmer, the air becomes saltier, and life becomes louder, sweeter, and more emotional.
