Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), part of Mundys Group, manages the Roman airport system, including Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino and G.B. Pastine – Ciampino airports, along with related and complementary services. Fiumicino Airport is one of only two hubs in Europe - and one of just twelve airports worldwide - to hold the prestigious 5-Star Skytrax rating for service quality. It has also been recognized as the world’s best airport for security standards. With two passenger terminals, Rome Fiumicino is Italy’s main gateway to the world, serving business and leisure travelers across domestic, international and intercontinental routes; in 2025, it surpassed 50 million passengers handled in a single year for the first time in its history. Ciampino Airport also plays a strategic role, primarily serving low-cost carriers, express couriers and General Aviation operations. In 2025, it joined the elite group of Europe’s best regional airports by earning its first-ever 4-Star Skytrax rating. Both airports have been awarded by ACI World the Level 3—the highest level—of its Accessibility Enhancement Accreditation in 2025, a recognition of ADR’s commitment to providing an increasingly inclusive travel experience across the entire airport system of the Italian capital. ADR’s ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation has earned widespread international recognition. For nine consecutive years, Fiumicino Airport has been named “Best Airport in Europe for Service Quality” by ACI World in the category of airports serving over 40 million passengers and, in 2026, Rome Fiumicino was once again named “Best European Airport” by ACI Europe in the category of airports serving over 40 million passengers, marking its eighth title since 2018 and its fifth consecutive win. ADR's aim is building the airport of the future: sustainable, innovative and fully focused on passengers' experience, combining operational excellence with the promotion of Italy’s cultural and artistic heritage.
