Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (Italian: Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci di Roma–Fiumicino) (IATA: FCO, ICAO: LIRF) is an international airport in Fiumicino, Italy, serving Rome. It is the busiest airport in the country, the 8th-busiest airport in Europe and the world's 28th-busiest airport with over 49.2 million passengers served in 2024.[2] It covers an area of 16 square kilometres (6.2 sq mi).[3]

Fiumicino serves as the principal hub for ITA Airways, the Italian flag carrier and the largest airline in the country. It was previously the hub for Alitalia, the defunct airline that was Italy's largest. It is also an operating base for several other airlines, such as Neos, AeroItalia, Ryanair, Vueling and Wizz Air.

Opened in 1961, it is in Fiumicino, 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Rome, and is named for Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519). Reproductions of some of his most famous works and inventions are on display inside the airport.
