It Will Be Easier To Get To Italy’s Glamorous Amalfi Coast In 2024
14.02.2024 - 11:07 / forbes.com / Amalfi Coast
Italy’s 50-kilometer-long Amalfi Coast is inundated with sun-seeking visitors every summer. Its geography and topography have gifted it with soaring cliff faces ideal for lemon cultivation, vertiginous villages and secluded rocky bays. But this also makes the coveted destination complicated to get to. Most travelers fly into Naples airport and, depending on budget, either take trains and buses to their coastal accommodation or a nearly two-hour taxi. This is all soon set to change, however, as a new (or renewed) airport will open on the coastline with flights starting this year.
The Amalfi Coast is set to get a new airport, according to reports by CNN, housed in a transport hub that is already in existence. Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport was constructed in 1926 and has previously operated as a military airport, flying school, firefighting center and private airfield. It is located 45 kilometers southeast of the city of Amalfi and 21 kilometers from Salerno, where many travelers arriving for the coast change from trains onto local buses.
In 2007, work was undertaken to equip the airport for commercial flights as well, involving extending the runway and building new gates and check-in desks. This venture only lasted until 2016, however, when the airport closed completely. Now, the transport hub is set to welcome international routes again as early as this summer.
On July 11, Spanish low-cost airline Volotea has scheduled its first flight from the airport after permission to restart commercial flights was granted in January. Modifications have been made to lengthen the runway to 2,000 meters and improve facilities. However, the new passenger terminal will only be completed in 2026 or 2027.
Volotea’s services will connect the Amalfi Coast with three destinations in Italy—Cagliari in Sardinia, Verona and Catania—as well as Nantes in France. Nantes and Cagliari flights are scheduled to start in July while Verona and Catania are slated for September.
Work to develop the Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport will continue until 2043 and it is hoped the transport hub will welcome some six million passengers by completion. This will ease pressure on Naples’ Capodichino International Airport, where most Amalfi Coast travelers arrive and which processed a record 12.4 million passengers last year.
