History of Naples Airport, which played a key role in the World Wars I and II
The airport, which started service in the Capodichino region known as Campo di Marte in 1910, continued to serve until the outbreak of World War I. With the World War I, the port was used as a military airport to defend the city against Austria.
The airport was used extensively by the United States Army Air Forces and the Royal Air Force during the Italian Campaign during the World War II. Towards the end of the war, the port became an important hub for cargo, transit aircraft and personnel.
Commercial traffic began after the war, in 1950. GE.SAC was established in 1980 to manage the airport. In 1995 GE.SAC – with the help of the BAA – prepared a new master plan that marked the beginning of a twenty-year development plan. Two years later (1997) GE.SAC became the first airport management company to be privatized in Italy. After privatization, improvement works were started across the port in 1998. Cafes that will operate 24 hours a day, all through the year, have been established in Terminal 1.
In June 2005, the airport’s first transatlantic flight was carried out. In March 2003, GE.SAC took over the management of the airport from the City Council with a 40-year license.
