The hub

Positano, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Positano operates outside the commercial aviation grid entirely — there is no nearby regional airfield, no helipad open to scheduled traffic, and road access from Naples or Salerno is measured in switchbacks rather than kilometres. The operative gateway is Naples International Airport (NAP/LIRN), 55 km to the northwest, where general aviation traffic is handled through dedicated FBO facilities on the south apron. From block-in to helicopter departure, a competent ground crew can clear customs and position a passenger to Positano's Sponda helipad in under 40 minutes on an uncontested day.

The demand profile for Positano is intensely seasonal and event-driven. The Amalfi Coast wedding corridor — running May through October — generates consistent charter demand from London, Paris, Geneva, and the Gulf states, with peak pressure in July and August coinciding with the Ravello Festival. During these windows, NAP sees slot pressure on GA stands, and PPR for overnight parking should be filed well in advance. The helicopter segment (Naples to Positano or Capri) is effectively the last mile of the private aviation journey and must be coordinated as part of the full trip file. Capri lies 45 minutes by helicopter, Ravello 30 minutes by road from Positano, making multi-stop Amalfi itineraries common for UHNWI clients.

On the ground, Positano offers a handful of ultra-luxury properties whose concierge teams routinely coordinate with aviation handlers at NAP. Road transfer from Naples by car runs 90 to 120 minutes depending on summer congestion on the SS163 coastal road; the helicopter option is operationally dominant for any time-sensitive arrival. Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR/LIRI), roughly 30 km east, handles light GA and helicopter traffic and is worth evaluating for specific fleet types or when NAP GA stands are saturated.
