The history of Rome Fiumicino Airport dates back to the 60s
The aerodrome was officially opened with two runways on January 15, 1961 and replaced the smaller Rome Ciampino Airport, which was in service with domestic and charter operations as well as some low-cost airlines. Although officially opened in 1961, Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino Airport has been in use since August 20, 1960. The airport was originally commissioned unofficially during the 1960 Summer Olympics to help alleviate the air traffic that choked Rome Ciampino Airport. In the 1960s, host Alitalia invested heavily in the new airport to build hangars and maintenance centres; A third runway was added to the facilities during the same period. During these periods, these facilities were put into service for Private Aircraft Chartering services.
The airport continued to develop without slowing down
The airport’s security services were transferred from Polizia di Stato (Italian State Police) to Aeroporti di Roma SpA in 2000. Aeroporti di Roma created ADR Security Srl to provide these services and security services to airlines. Airport Security is currently overseen by Polizia di Stato, the Guardia di Finanza (Italian Customs Police), the Italian Civil Aviation Authority and Aeroporti di Roma SpA.
Since 2005, the aerodrome has operated with a category III B instrument landing system (ILS). In 2007, further improvement work was carried out so that the airport could serve 30 take offs/landings per hour in case of heavy fog. Four runways are currently operational at Leonardo da Vinci airport, and in 2010 a new single baggage handling system was put into operation for more efficient baggage delivery.
