Amalfi Airport reopens
A new beginning between tradition and innovation
The Salerno–Amalfi Coast Airport, closed since 2016, is ready to reopen in July, ushering in a new era for the Amalfi Coast. This long awaited event represents not only a great opportunity for the tourism industry, but also a chance to enhance the region and promote local economic development.
History and traditions
The airport, located in one of the most fascinating locations in Italy, has a history dating back to the 1920s. Originally built for military use, it experienced years of decline until its eventual closure. The reopening in July marks a return to its roots with a strong focus on innovation. Among the upgrades is an extended runway now measuring 2,000 meters, equipped with new lighting systems. A further extension to 2,200 meters is planned for 2025, along with the addition of new parking areas and improved accessibility.
Restructuring and innovation
Renovation of the airport required significant resources and time. State-of-the-art security systems have been installed, and passenger services upgraded making the airport not just a point of arrival, but a 360-degree experience. The blend of modern technology and respectful design in harmony with the surrounding landscape has resulted in a facility that fully integrates with the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
Economic and touristic impact
The reopening of the Amalfi airport will have a significant impact on the local economy. Tourism is expected to increase, with direct benefits for hotels, restaurants and businesses in the area. In addition, the airport will offer new employment opportunities for residents, contributing to the economic growth of the region.
Sustainability and environment
One of the key aspects of the renovation was the focus on environmental sustainability. Measures have been taken to reduce the ecological impact, such as the use of environmentally friendly materials and the implementation of renewable energy systems. The goal is to create an infrastructure that respects and protects the precious ecosystem of the Amalfi Coast.A new passenger terminal spanning 16,000 square meters is being built. According to Naples Airport, it will be a model of sustainability, incorporating photovoltaic systems to reduce COâ‚‚ emissions and using natural, sustainable materials throughout.
