Jet2 issues warning for passengers heading to popular Italian destination this half term
by Liv Clarke · Manchester Evening NewsJet2 has issued a message to passengers flying to a popular Italian city this October half term. Holidaymakers heading to Naples Airport from October 27 to November 3 have been told that flights will operate to and from Salerno Costa d’Amalfi airport instead.
The airline said that this is “due to operational issues beyond our control” at Naples Airport. Salerno Costa d’Amalfi airport is an hour’s drive away from Naples, while Naples Airport is in the heart of the city.
Passengers need to take extra care when planning their journey as Jet2 added that their boarding passes and booking systems will continue to show ‘Naples Airport’ despite the change. Holidaymakers will need to allow extra time to arrive at Salerno Costa d’Amalfi airport if they're staying in the city.
