Why Fly Private
The Amalfi Coast has no local airport, and the winding SS163 coastal road from Naples can take over two hours in summer traffic. Private aviation into Naples, combined with a helicopter transfer, reduces your total journey to under an hour from touchdown to terrace. During peak season, commercial flights into Naples are heavily booked with no direct service from many European cities — a private jet opens up direct routing from anywhere.
Private Jet Experience
Arriving at Naples International Airport, your aircraft parks at the general aviation terminal where a handler whisks your luggage to a waiting Mercedes or helicopter. The most dramatic option is a 30-minute helicopter transfer that traces the coastline past Vesuvius, Sorrento, and the dramatic cliffs of Positano before touching down at a helipad perched above the Mediterranean.
