Flights to Rome
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Rome is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,226 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO, 24 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport | CIA | 12 km (7 mi) | 7,226 ft | 427 ft |
| Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport | FCO | 24 km (15 mi) | 12,801 ft | 13 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,226 ft, CIA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 427 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
