Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport is undergoing various infrastructure and development initiatives. In mid-September 2026, Aeroporti di Roma announced scheduled maintenance on Runway 3, which required redirecting air traffic to other runways. This reorganization was expected to cause a “substantial acoustic impact” on nearby residential areas during the maintenance period.

Concurrently, Aeroporti di Roma has entered into a partnership with Italia Nostra to integrate archaeological preservation into the airport’s development. This collaboration aims to create an 85-hectare public archaeological park to valorize the Porti Imperiali of Claudius and Trajan, making the ancient Portus settlement sites available for free public use.
