Air Connections — Roma is served by three airports, of which the main two are owned by Aeroporti di Roma. The intercontinental Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport is Italy’s chief airport; it is more commonly known as “Fiumicino airport”, as it is located within the territory of the nearby comune of Fiumicino, south-west of the city centre. The older Rome Ciampino Airport is a joint civilian and military airport; it is more commonly referred to as “Ciampino Airport”, as it is located within Roman territory near the border with the comune of Ciampino, south-east of the city centre. A third airport, the Aeroporto dell’Urbe, is a small, low-traffic airport located about 6 km north of the city centre, which handles most helicopter and private flights.
The cruise Port of Civitavecchia is 50km from the Fiumicino International Airport.
