Located in Fiumicino, 30 km south of Rome's historic city centre, Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport covers 16 square kilometres. As Italy's busiest airport and an international gateway, it serves Rome, Vatican City, and the Lazio region. Managed by Aeroporti di Roma, the airport acts as a major hub for ITA Airways and Poste Air Cargo, while also hosting operating bases for airlines like easyJet, Ryanair, Neos, and Wizz Air.
The airport layout is organized into two primary operating terminals following major expansion and refurbishment efforts: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Displays featuring reproductions of Leonardo da Vinci's works and inventions line the airport. Passengers moving through Terminal 3 utilize the SkyBridge automated people mover, which shuttles travelers between the main building and gate areas to ensure smooth transit across the facility.
01 Terminals & concourses
Terminal 1 serves as the home base for national carrier ITA Airways. It features a modern layout with a three-storey boarding and waiting area alongside Pier A.
As the airport's largest terminal, Terminal 3 incorporates non-Schengen departures and the former Terminal 5. It uses the SkyBridge automated train shuttle to connect main facilities with remote gates.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at FCO
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
