Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport

Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) sits 19 miles southwest of central Rome on the Tyrrhenian coast. Four runways, the longest at 12,795 ft, handle every current business jet without restriction; Sea Prime and ATA handle VIP movements. Field elevation 13 ft, no density-altitude concerns. Fiumicino is Italy's principal international commercial gateway and the default for international VIP arrivals where the long runway and full CBP matter. For close-in Rome charter, Ciampino (LIRA) is the practical alternative — 15 minutes from the centro storico. Structural peaks: Easter / Holy Week pilgrimage, Roman summer events (Concerto del Primo Maggio), Italian state-government event windows, papal events. Ground time to central Rome via the Leonardo Express train is 32 minutes; by car via the autostrada is 45–60.
