Airport Guide

Flying Private from Naples

LIRN — Gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and Southern Italian luxury. Where Neapolitan gastronomy meets Mediterranean aviation.

Naples: Business Aviation Operations

Naples International Airport serves as the gateway to some of Italy's most exclusive destinations — the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia, and Ravello. During summer, the airport handles significant UHNW traffic heading to Mediterranean villas and yachts.

Neapolitan cuisine needs no introduction. The birthplace of pizza, exceptional seafood, and a culinary tradition that represents Italian gastronomy at its most authentic.

From Real Operations

Operating at LIRN

Naples operations are well-established for business aviation, with a dedicated general aviation terminal. The airport's proximity to the Amalfi Coast makes it the preferred arrival point for Southern Italy's luxury market.

Ground transfers to Amalfi destinations require careful coordination — the coastal roads are narrow, winding, and congested in summer. Helicopter transfers are increasingly popular.

The Amalfi Coast Factor

The drive from Naples Airport to Positano or Ravello can take over 2 hours in summer traffic along narrow, winding coastal roads. Many UHNW clients now prefer helicopter transfers — coordinate through the FBO.

Capri has no airport. Clients access the island by helicopter or boat from Naples. Plan the multi-modal transfer carefully for seamless client experience.
