Flight information

Flight Information

Leonardo da Vinci (Fiumicino) is one of Rome's two main international airport. The airport is located 26km (16 miles) southwest of Rome. With three terminals, it is quite a large and congested airport. Rome's second main airport is Ciampino (Giovan Battista Pastine). It is located 15km (9 miles) to the southeast of the centre of Rome. It is three passengers and one cargo terminal, so it is still quite large but considerable less congested.
