Getting to Rome by Air: Rome has two major airports - Fiumicino International Airport (also known as Leonardo da Vinci) and Ciampino Airport. Almost all major international airlines, including Alitalia, Air France, Air Canada, British Airways, Continental Airlines, Japan Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Delta Airlines and Lufthansa operate direct or connecting flights to Rome's Fiumicino Airport from cities across the world. The airport is around 30 km from the city center with good rail and road connection.
Over 100 low cost, domestic and charter carriers use Ciampino Airport, which is just 9 miles southeast of the city center. Major airlines operating flights to Ciampino (mainly from London) include Ryanair, Easyjet, Air Sicilia, Britannia and Corsair. Ciampino is also used as a military airbase.
