The larger of Rome’s two airports, Leonardo da Vinci is known as Fiumicino. Most traditional carriers fly here - it is Alitalia's hub - while the no-frillers use Ciampino. Situated further from town than Ciampino, the train system allows far easier access to the centre of town. It served more than 35 million passengers in 2008. More than 80 airlines fly from FCO.
