Gesac SpA - Campania Airport Services Management

What Gesac SpA - Campania Airport Services Management does

GESAC S.p.A. (Gestione Servizi Aeroporti Campani) is an Italian airport management company that holds the exclusive 40-year ENAC concession for the total management of Naples Capodichino International Airport (IATA: NAP) and additionally operates Salerno Costa D'Amalfi Airport in the Campania region. Founded in 1980 and headquartered at Capodichino (Viale Fulco Ruffo di Calabria, Naples), the company coordinates flight operations, runway and terminal infrastructure, passenger handling, security, and commercial activities at both airports. The airport system serves 50+ airlines — including Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, ITA Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, and British Airways — connecting to 120+ direct destinations.

The company's core technology infrastructure comprises two notable proprietary systems: the A-CDM (Airport-Collaborative Decision Making) platform, which coordinates operational decisions among airport stakeholders, and the ZTC (Zona a Traffico Controllato) traffic management system, which uses camera-based vehicle detection and electronic time tracking to enforce drop-off/pick-up windows on the airport road network (jointly managed with Comune di Napoli). Service offerings span a tiered parking portfolio (P1 Low Cost, P2/P4 Short Stay, P3 Premium Covered, Multipiano Comfort, Capodichino Super Low Cost, plus motorcycle and tourist-bus facilities), Fast Track security (€9), the Pearl Lounge VIP service operated by Menzies Aviation (€44), baggage custody (€10–€15/day), and a Pearl Meet & Assist package including porterage, dedicated check-in, and gate assistance. The digital ecosystem comprises an e-shop booking platform (eshop.aeroportodinapoli.it), native iOS/Android apps, the FlyYou loyalty program, and free terminal Wi-Fi.

GESAC's revenue model blends regulated aeronautical revenue (runway fees, airline handling, passenger charges) with diversified non-aeronautical streams: transaction-fee parking, Fast Track, VIP lounge commissions, baggage storage, advertising, marketplace commissions on duty-free and retail tenants (Aelia, Boggi, Lavazza), and car-rental/bus commissions. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through terminal facilities, automated kiosks, online booking, and customer service desks. Specialized services include PRM accessibility support (in collaboration with FISH Campania), an ENAC-certified autism-friendly pre-travel program, and Tax Free refund services via Forexchange using the OTELLO 2.0 digital customs system.
