Airport history
The area was known as "Campo di Marte," and in 1910, exhibition flights began. During WWI, the airport became a military airport intended to defend Naples against attacks from Austria-Hungary and Germany. During WWII, the base was used by the Allies during the Italian Campaign, and both the British RAF and the US Air Force used the airbase at times during the war. In the 1950s, the base began being used for commercial traffic. In 1998 "Galleria Napoli" opened, a shopping mall inside terminal 1, and a new departure lounge was inaugurated by Prince Charles four years later. In June 2005, the first transatlantic flight took off to New York.
