Flight compensation from Rome Fiumicino Airport
- IATA FCO — Leonardo da Vinci Airport at Fiumicino, about 32 km south-west of Rome.
- Italy's busiest airport and the hub of ITA Airways, operated by Aeroporti di Roma.
- The Leonardo Express runs non-stop to Roma Termini in about 32 minutes.
Fiumicino is Italy's principal international gateway and the base from which ITA Airways flies its long-haul network. Terminals 1 and 3 carry the bulk of the traffic, with Terminal 1 rebuilt for Schengen flights and Terminal 3 handling intercontinental departures. Passenger numbers have climbed back above 40 million, and the airport has become a regular winner of European service-quality awards.
Your passenger rights
Every flight departing Fiumicino is covered by EC 261/2004. Rome to Barcelona or Paris pays €250, Rome to Stockholm or Tenerife €400, and ITA's long-haul routes to New York, São Paulo or Tokyo €600 — always measured by how late you reach your final destination. Strikes are a recurring feature of Italian aviation, and where it is the operating airline's own staff on strike, the Court of Justice has held that compensation remains payable.
Tips for claiming
Italian national strikes are announced in advance and airlines must publish the list of cancelled flights; if you were rebooked more than a day later, ask about re-routing with another carrier or take the full refund. Bear in mind that Italian courts generally apply a two-year limitation period to air passenger claims, far shorter than in France or Spain, so do not let the paperwork sit. ENAC is the national enforcement body for flights departing Italy.
