Rome Viterbo Airport (Italian: Aeroporto di Roma-Viterbo (ICAO: LIRV)[4] is a proposed re-use of Viterbo Air Force Base, a civilian, commercial and military airport about 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Rome, Italy.

Originally opened as a military airport in 1936, the airfield was dedicated to Tommaso Fabbri[5] and is situated 3 km (1.9 mi) northwest of the town of Viterbo in the Lazio region.

On November 26, 2007, Italian transport minister Alessandro Bianchi announced that Viterbo had been chosen by the Italian Ministry of Transport as the site of the next Airport to serve Rome, alongside Leonardo da Vinci Airport, and Rome Ciampino Airport. It was chosen over alternative sites in Latina, Frosinone, and Guidonia.[6] However, these plans have since been abandoned.
