252 Rome Fiumicino Airport Statistics for 2026

Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport handled 51,306,744 passengers in 2025 on the count of Assaeroporti, the Italian airports association, 4.3% more than in 2024, and passed 50 million passengers in a year for the first time. ENAC ranks it as Italy's busiest airport, and it is the home base of ITA Airways.

This page brings together the main figures on Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO): passengers each year and in 2026, the pandemic and recovery, the busiest months, domestic and international traffic, routes, airlines, flights, cargo, rankings and awards, punctuality, the size of the airport, jobs and finances, emissions and the expansion plan. Every number links to the body that published it, with the date.

Fiumicino's figures depend on who counts. Assaeroporti and the operator, Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), count every passenger, including direct transits and general aviation; Italy's civil aviation authority, ENAC, counts commercial scheduled and charter passengers without direct transits; Eurostat counts passengers carried. Their totals for the same year differ, so each figure here says whose it is and what it measures.

How many passengers use Rome Fiumicino each year?

Fiumicino is Italy's busiest airport, and in 2025 it passed 50 million passengers in a year for the first time, ENAC and ADR say. Before the pandemic traffic grew from under 29 million in 2005 to over 43 million in 2019, with dips in 2009, 2012-2013 and 2017.

Fiumicino's 2025 and 2019 totals differ by producer because each counts something different. Assaeroporti, whose figures ADR also uses, counts all arriving and departing passengers, including direct transits and general aviation. ENAC counts commercial scheduled and charter passengers and leaves out direct transits. Eurostat counts passengers carried and, separately, passengers on board. None is "the" figure: each is given with its producer, and the chart uses Assaeroporti's series only. From 2022 Assaeroporti's Fiumicino figures are supplied through the Aeroporti 2030 association. ADR's December 2025 figure was an estimate made before the year closed.

How hard did the pandemic hit Fiumicino, and when did it recover?

Fiumicino lost more than three quarters of its passengers in 2020, and in April 2020 fewer than 70,000 passengers used it in the whole month. Traffic was still below 2019 in 2023 and passed it in 2024.

Assaeroporti, ISTAT, ENAC and Eurostat each count passengers on their own rules, so their figures for the same year or month differ and are not compared. Assaeroporti prints its own changes against 2019 for 2022 and 2023. ADR's comparison with "the main European airports" does not say which airports it means.

How busy is Fiumicino in 2026?

Fiumicino has barely grown in 2026 after three years of fast recovery, while Europe's airports as a whole grew faster. Domestic traffic keeps falling, and cargo is growing faster than passengers.

All 2026 figures are provisional. Assaeroporti counts all passengers, including direct transits and general aviation; Eurostat counts passengers carried; ACI EUROPE's growth rates are its own; ADR's traffic page covers Fiumicino and Ciampino together. ADR's half-year traffic figures for Fiumicino are not used because they do not agree with each other. October 2026 figures were not out when this page was reviewed.

Which are the busiest months at Fiumicino?

Summer is the peak at Fiumicino: every month from June to October 2025 had more than 4.7 million passengers, and ADR says August set its monthly record. Winter is far quieter, with around 3.2 million passengers in each of January and February.

Monthly passengers are Assaeroporti's totals, which include direct transits and general aviation. ENAC's monthly figures count commercial scheduled and charter passengers only, so the two differ. ADR's daily and monthly records are its own, and EUROCONTROL's records count flights, not passengers.

How many Fiumicino passengers fly internationally?

About four in five Fiumicino passengers are on international flights. International traffic grew in 2025 while domestic traffic shrank, and flights within the EU carry more passengers than flights outside it.

  1. 1 Within the EU 22.52m
  2. 2 Outside the EU 18.08m
  3. 3 National (Italy) 10.25m
Passengers carried at Fiumicino in 2025 by type of flight, in millions, on Eurostat's count. Flights outside the EU include those to the UK. (Eurostat (air passenger transport), Nov 2026)
  • ENAC counted 40,580,448 international passengers at Fiumicino in 2025, up 6.2%, and 10,259,127 domestic passengers, down 2.0%. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • In ENAC's ranking table, 79.8% of Fiumicino's 2025 passengers were international and 20.2% domestic. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • International passengers split into 20,243,642 arriving and 20,336,806 departing; domestic passengers into 5,171,290 arriving and 5,087,837 departing. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • Across all commercial traffic ENAC counted 25,414,932 arriving and 25,424,643 departing passengers in 2025. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • ENAC counted a further 122,211 direct transit passengers, who stay on board, separately; that was 37.9% fewer than in 2024. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • Traffic between Fiumicino and the USA grew by more than 200,000 passengers in 2025, up 6.5%, and ENAC says Fiumicino drove most of Italy's growth to the USA. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • Assaeroporti counted 10,259,342 domestic passengers in 2025 and 23,662,730 on EU international flights, up 4.6%, plus 122,415 direct transits and 318,820 general aviation and other passengers. (Assaeroporti (2025 annual traffic data), 2025)
  • Eurostat counted 10,252,864 national and 40,606,697 international passengers carried in 2025; 22,522,108 flew within the EU and 18,084,589 outside it. (Eurostat (air passenger transport), Nov 2026)
  • Its count of passengers on board, including direct transits, split into 10,396,306 national and 40,705,241 international in 2025. (Eurostat (passengers on board), Nov 2026)
  • In 2019 Eurostat counted 11,052,483 national and 32,345,268 international passengers carried, with 16,044,757 within the EU and 16,300,511 outside it. (Eurostat (air passenger transport), Nov 2026)
  • In 2024 it counted 10,449,600 national and 38,231,185 international passengers carried, with 21,482,071 within the EU and 16,749,114 outside it. (Eurostat (air passenger transport), Nov 2026)

ENAC, Assaeroporti and Eurostat each split domestic and international passengers on their own rules, so the numbers differ slightly and are not mixed. Eurostat's EU figures use the 27 current members for every year, so UK flights count as outside the EU; Assaeroporti's EU figure uses its own definition and is not compared with Eurostat's. ENAC's USA figure is origin and destination traffic.

Is domestic traffic at Fiumicino falling?

Yes. Domestic passengers at Fiumicino are below their 2008 level and fell again in 2025 and most of 2026, while international traffic has grown much faster since 2005. ITA Airways, the airport's main airline, cut domestic flying in 2025 after engine problems grounded part of its fleet.

Where can you fly from Fiumicino?

Fiumicino links Rome with more than 240 destinations, and its routes with the most passengers include Madrid, Barcelona, Catania, Palermo and New York JFK. North America is its main long-haul market, and Lisbon, Dubai and Tel Aviv each grew by more than 20% in 2025.

  • There were over 30 new connections in 2025, 12 of them to new destinations including Minneapolis, Denver, Mauritius, Tbilisi, Zadar and Zaragoza, and 6 new airlines. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • North America had 4.7 million Fiumicino passengers in 2025, with up to 40 departures a day in summer, ADR says. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • Long-haul traffic grew about 6% to almost 10.8 million passengers, and traffic to the US was up 6% on 2024 and 39% on 2019. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)

  • ENAC counts domestic routes by departing passengers in each direction: Catania to Fiumicino, Italy's top domestic route, had 950,361, and Fiumicino to Catania 926,628; Fiumicino to Palermo had 828,909 and Palermo to Fiumicino 824,818. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)

ENAC's route figures are passengers in 2025 and 2024; for domestic routes ENAC counts only departing passengers, so each direction is listed separately, and its ranks are among all Italian routes. Eurostat's route figures count passengers carried in both directions in 2024, the latest year it has published. ADR's destination and route counts are its own. None of these are compared with each other.

Which airlines fly the most passengers at Fiumicino?

ITA Airways is Fiumicino's main airline, but low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, Vueling and easyJet carry more than 20 million of its passengers a year. Lufthansa owns 41% of ITA and plans to take a majority.

ENAC's airline figures count scheduled and charter passengers at Italian airports. ITA Airways' own passenger and capacity figures cover its whole network and differ from ENAC's, so they are not compared. ADR's figure for airlines other than the hub carrier is its own. Lufthansa's majority stake was planned, not completed, when this page was reviewed.

How much cargo goes through Fiumicino?

Fiumicino is Italy's second cargo airport, far behind Milano Malpensa, and almost all of its cargo is international. Cargo jumped by more than 40% in 2024, the year UPS began moving its operations from Ciampino, and it is growing again in 2026.

Cargo at Fiumicino each year, in thousand tonnes, on Assaeroporti's count of air freight and mail. Each year comes from the release for that year; the link is to the latest one. (Assaeroporti (2025 annual traffic data), 2025)
  • Assaeroporti counted 273,879.9 tonnes of cargo at Fiumicino in 2025, up 0.8%: 268,029.0 tonnes of air freight and 5,850.9 tonnes of mail. (Assaeroporti (2025 annual traffic data), 2025)
  • ENAC says 98.0% of Fiumicino's cargo in 2025 was international; Milano Malpensa, first in Italy, handled 763,915.1 tonnes. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • ENAC counted 267,037.5 tonnes of international cargo, up 0.5%, and 5,495.9 tonnes of domestic cargo, up 2.7%. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • Fiumicino had 8% of Italy's domestic air cargo and was the only one of the five largest domestic cargo airports to grow in 2025, ENAC says. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • 116,004.1 tonnes of cargo were unloaded at Fiumicino in 2025 and 156,529.3 tonnes loaded. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)

  • ENAC counted 15,445.8 tonnes of cargo in January 2025 and 27,931.6 tonnes in July 2025. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • Eurostat counted 272,978 tonnes of freight and mail in 2025, 245,402 tonnes of it on flights outside the EU, and 194,508 tonnes in 2019. (Eurostat (freight and mail), Nov 2026)
  • ENAC says Fiumicino's cargo grew 43% in 2024 to 271 thousand tonnes, lifting its share of Italy's air cargo to 22.4% from 18% in 2023. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2024), Jul 2025)
  • ENAC put Fiumicino's 2024 cargo, 271,162 tonnes, 39.4% above 2019, alongside Brescia Montichiari and Milano Malpensa as airports above their pre-pandemic volumes. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2024), Jul 2025)
  • ADR says UPS moved its operations from Ciampino to Fiumicino from November 2024 and Amazon stopped operating at Fiumicino from April 2025; Fiumicino's goods still grew 1% in 2025 after 44% in 2024. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • Assaeroporti counted 28,134 tonnes of cargo in July 2025 and 15,816 tonnes in January 2025. (Assaeroporti (2025 monthly traffic data), 2025)
  • From January to September 2026 cargo rose 6.8% to 219,845 tonnes: 216,047 tonnes of air freight, up 7.2%, and 3,798 tonnes of mail, down 14.2%. (Assaeroporti (Jan-Sep 2026 traffic data), Sep 2026)

Four producers count Fiumicino's cargo in tonnes, each on its own rules: Assaeroporti counts air freight plus mail, ENAC counts scheduled and charter cargo, Eurostat counts freight and mail loaded and unloaded, and ADR's "goods" leave out mail. Their totals differ slightly and are not compared. 2026 figures are provisional.

How does Fiumicino rank in Italy, Europe and the world?

Fiumicino is first in Italy for passengers and flights in ENAC's rankings and among Europe's ten best-connected airports. ACI EUROPE has given it its award for airports with over 40 million passengers every year from 2023 to 2026, once shared.

Each ranking uses its producer's own measure. ENAC ranks Italian airports by commercial passengers; ACI World ranks by international passengers; ACI EUROPE's connectivity scores weight flights by frequency and destination and are not passenger counts; Skytrax and ACI's ASQ awards rest on passenger surveys. ADR's releases give different counts of how many years in a row Fiumicino has won, so no count is given here, and Mundys does not say how it ranks operators.

How punctual is Fiumicino, and how do passengers rate it?

Fiumicino became much more punctual in 2025, with one of the biggest improvements among Europe's 30 busiest airports. In 2026 punctuality fell back in June, and runway works cut capacity in September.

The punctuality figures cover different flights. ADR's Service Charter measure counts departing flights at Fiumicino over the year; ACI EUROPE's monthly figures, built with EUROCONTROL data, count commercial flights in each month; ITA Airways' figures cover its whole network. They are not compared. ADR's 2025 security wait is left out because its annual report gives two different values. The ASQ score at the top of the page comes from ACI's departures survey on a scale of 1 to 5.

How big is Fiumicino Airport?

Fiumicino is a three-runway airport with check-in at Terminals 1 and 3 and more than 90 boarding gates. Non-stop trains reach Rome Termini in about half an hour.

How do you get from Fiumicino to central Rome?

  • The Leonardo Express runs non-stop between Roma Termini and Fiumicino Airport in 32 minutes, every 15 minutes, for €14. (Trenitalia (Leonardo Express page), Nov 2026)
  • ADR gives its hours as 04:50 to 23:05 from Roma Termini and 05:38 to 23:27 from the airport; the regional FL1 line runs every 15 minutes on working days and every 30 minutes at weekends and holidays. (Aeroporti di Roma (train page), Nov 2026)
  • Cotral, the Lazio regional bus company, runs more than 8,000 bus services a day across all 376 municipalities of Lazio, and ADR doubled its bus bays at Terminal 3 in November 2026. (Aeroporti di Roma (regional bus release, Nov 2026), Nov 2026)
  • A new A91 road junction for Cargo City and the long-stay car park, costing over €40 million and due in spring 2027, will carry around 1,100 vehicles a day, ADR says. (Aeroporti di Roma (Cargo City junction release), Aug 2026)

Train times and fares are the operators' and can change; the hours given are ADR's. Cotral's 8,000 daily services cover its whole regional network, including routes that do not serve the airport.

What is Fiumicino worth to Rome's economy?

Rome's airports support hundreds of thousands of jobs, on estimates from a study ADR commissioned. ADR, which runs both Rome airports, earned more in 2025 but paid large dividends, so its debt rose.

The economic figures come from a study ADR commissioned. They cover both Rome airports, include effects of tourism spending by air passengers and are estimates, not counts.

Who owns and runs Fiumicino, and what does it earn?

  • Mundys holds 99.39% of Aeroporti di Roma, which runs Fiumicino and Ciampino under a concession that expires on 30 June 2046. (Mundys (2025 annual report), Mar 2026)
  • ENAC lists Aeroporti di Roma S.p.A. as Fiumicino's operator under total management by law ("Gestione Totale Ex Lege"); Italy's airports handled 229,389,513 commercial passengers in 2025, up 5.0%, on ENAC's count. (ENAC (Dati di traffico 2025), May 2026)
  • ADR Group revenue was €1,455.6 million in 2025, up 11.2%, with EBITDA of €712.8 million, up 13.3%, and profit of €273.1 million, down 8.7%. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • Aviation revenue was €820.0 million and non-aviation revenue €355.4 million. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)

  • A 3.8% rise in airport charges at Fiumicino was approved from 1 January 2025. (Mundys (2025 results presentation), Mar 2026)
  • In February 2026 ADR sold a €500 million eight-year sustainability-linked bond with a 3.625% coupon; demand was more than three times the amount offered, and over 80% went to foreign investors. (Aeroporti di Roma (bond release, Feb 2026), Feb 2026)
  • ADR Group EBITDA was €331.9 million in the first half of 2026, €13.4 million more than a year earlier, and investment was €211.1 million. (Aeroporti di Roma (2026 half-year report), Jul 2026)

ADR Group figures cover Fiumicino and Ciampino together. Airport charges are regulated and change over time.

How green is Fiumicino?

Fiumicino holds Level 4+ in ACI's Airport Carbon Accreditation programme, and ADR cut its own emissions by almost a quarter in 2025. Emissions from airlines and other third parties are far larger, and they are still rising.

ADR's emissions cover ADR Group at both Rome airports, and its Scope 3 total leaves out the cruise phase of flights. The 2030 figures are ADR targets, and the solar output and road savings are ADR expectations. Level 4+ was the programme's top level in 2021; a higher level has been added since.

How will Fiumicino grow?

ADR wants to build a new East Terminal and a new runway system and to pay for them itself, but its plan still needs approval. In the meantime its current environmental permit allows more traffic until 2030.

  • ADR's plan splits into €4 billion to modernise the current airport and €5 billion for new works: €0.3 billion for the East Satellite and €4.7 billion for longer-term projects entering service from 2033. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • The new works include a 350,000 square metre East Terminal with 76 gates, 44 with air bridges, a total of 182 aircraft stands and a new runway system. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • ADR's demand forecast assumes average growth of around 3% a year, and the plan was under evaluation by the authorities when ADR published its 2025 report. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • In December 2025 the Environment Ministry extended the environmental impact assessment of the "Fiumicino Sud" project to 2030 and up to 62 million passengers and 358,000 movements a year, ADR reports. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • ADR says the East Satellite adds capacity for approximately 5 million departing passengers. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • A Luiss University study for ADR forecasts approximately €70 billion of added value by 2046 and up to 300,000 stable jobs from the plan, over 67,000 of them in Lazio and over 13,000 in the municipality of Fiumicino. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)
  • ADR spent more than €3 billion on investment in the 10 years before February 2026 and expects more than €400 million in 2026. (Aeroporti di Roma (bond release, Feb 2026), Feb 2026)
  • In 2025 ADR Group invested €157.8 million in terminals and piers, including €45.1 million on restructuring Terminal 3, plus €173.4 million in systems and ICT, €54.2 million in renovation and €8.6 million on runways and aprons. (Aeroporti di Roma (2025 annual report), Apr 2026)

The development plan, its split, the 2046 demand forecast, the growth rate and the Luiss study are ADR's own plan and forecasts, published in its 2025 annual report in April 2026, and the plan was still under evaluation then. The traffic limit to 2030 is a government environmental decision as reported by ADR. The 2026 investment is ADR's expectation.

Methodology and sources

Figures come from Assaeroporti's monthly and annual traffic files from 2005 to 2026, ENAC's Dati di traffico reports and executive summary, Eurostat, ISTAT, Aeroporti di Roma's annual and half-year reports, traffic and train pages and press releases, ACI World, ACI EUROPE, EUROCONTROL, Skytrax, Airport Carbon Accreditation, ITA Airways, Lufthansa, Mundys, the European Commission and Trenitalia. Each figure links to the body that produced it, with the date. Assaeroporti's total passenger count is the main series; ENAC's commercial passengers, Eurostat's passengers carried and on board, ISTAT's figures and ACI World's international passengers are given only with their own labels and are never charted together. Movements, cargo and punctuality from different producers are kept apart in the same way, and figures for Rome's two airports together are labelled as such. ADR's development plan and 2046 demand figure are labelled as ADR's own plan and forecast. ADR's first-half 2026 traffic figures and award counts that differ between its releases are left out. The page is reviewed monthly and the date is shown at the top.
