Fiumicino Airport infrastructure expansion

Overview

Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (Fiumicino) has undergone significant infrastructure developments. Following the completion of a €250 million overhaul of Terminal 3, which focused on increasing natural light and reducing congestion for long-haul carriers, Aeroporti di Roma (Adr) has introduced a broader expansion plan.

This new development strategy aims to increase the airport’s capacity to 100 million passengers annually through a €9 billion investment, including the construction of a new terminal with 76 gates. While the project is expected to boost the Lazio region’s economy, it has faced local opposition regarding noise levels and infrastructure pressure. Adr has claimed the project intends to ‘reduce noise on the exposed population by up to 80%’, though residents continue to seek formal guarantees.
