Flight departures and arrivals
Check real-time flight status at Rome-Fiumicino Airport (FCO) (FCO). Review schedules and possible delays before heading to the terminal or arranging your transportation.
Transportation and ground access
The airport is connected to Rome by trains, buses, taxis and road transportation services. Its railway station provides direct connections to the city centre and other districts of Rome, while buses offer alternatives to Termini, Ostiense and other destinations.
Two main services operate from the station:
- Leonardo Express: a direct train connecting the airport with Roma Termini, without intermediate stops. The journey takes approximately 32 minutes, with a standard fare of €14 and departures normally every 15 minutes.
- FL1: a regional train connecting the airport with stations including Roma Trastevere, Roma Ostiense and Roma Tiburtina, as well as other destinations in Lazio. It is useful for reaching different parts of Rome without necessarily travelling through Termini.
Selected Frecciarossa high-speed services also provide direct connections to other Italian cities, depending on the current railway timetable.
Leonardo Express is particularly convenient for reaching Termini, while the FL1 may provide a more direct connection to other areas of Rome.
Direct journeys between Fiumicino Airport and Rome’s historic centre, within the Aurelian Walls, have an official fixed fare of €55 per vehicle.
This fare does not automatically apply to every destination in the metropolitan area. Different fixed fares or specific pricing conditions apply to other districts of Rome and nearby towns.
To avoid unauthorized services, passengers should proceed directly to the official taxi ranks rather than accepting transportation offers inside the arrivals halls.
Taxis are a convenient option for travelling directly to accommodation, particularly when carrying substantial luggage or heading to destinations that require several public transportation transfers.
Operators include:
- Terravision: connects the airport with Roma Termini.
- SIT Bus Shuttle: provides connections to Termini and the Vatican area.
- T.A.M.: connects the airport with Termini and Roma Ostiense.
- Cotral: operates regional services to various areas of Rome and nearby towns, with stops in the T3 area.
Buses generally offer a more affordable alternative to taxis, although journey times depend on traffic and the destination.
For a fast and predictable journey to Roma Termini, Leonardo Express is usually the better option. Buses can be useful when they stop closer to accommodation or offer a more convenient fare.
Vehicles are mainly collected and returned at the multi-storey car parks associated with the rental facilities.
From the terminals, follow the Autonoleggio / Car Rental signs to reach the relevant offices and vehicle collection areas.
Renting a car is particularly useful for exploring Lazio and visiting destinations outside Rome, where public transportation may require several connections.
Getting between terminals
Fiumicino has two operational passenger terminals, T1 and T3, connected by signposted pedestrian routes through the airport’s public areas.
Passengers can walk between the terminals without needing a shuttle bus or train.
Some flights use gates E31–E44, located in a satellite boarding building connected by an automated internal transportation system.
Access to the satellite building should not be confused with a transfer between T1 and T3. Passengers should follow the signs for their assigned boarding gate after completing the relevant security and passport checks.
If you have a connecting flight, check your terminal and boarding area, along with any security or passport control procedures that may be required.
