A collaboration agreement on facilitating airport travel for athletes involved in events and competitions was signed between Aeroporti di Roma and the Italian National Olympic Committee.
With this partnership, all procedures will be sped up with the aim of optimising airport processes and guaranteeing an excellent customer experience for athletes and their staff. The CONI will communicate in advance to ADR the nominative lists of the teams together with all the operational details of the flights in order to be able to organise this process appropriately, thus speeding up the airport procedures. Events will also be planned and organised at the airport to illustrate the sporting events which the athletes will take part in or have already participated in, so as to make the sports culture known and valued to travelling passengers and operators also in the airport, making it an increasingly inclusive meeting place.

Veronica Pamio, Vice President External Relations and Sustainability of ADR, stated "Aeroporti di Roma, always sensitive to cultural and social issues, has enthusiastically decided to be at CONI's side to promote sports initiatives and events at Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. This partnership is an important step on the path of enhancing the value of culture and sport, as well as a further confirmation of ADR's commitment to combine excellence and social sustainability, and to ensure that Fiumicino's role as the gateway to Rome and the country is increasingly future-proofed”.

CONI Secretary General Carlo Mornati commented "I would like to thank ADR for the attention and sensitivity shown towards our world. In fact, this agreement allows all airport procedures to be streamlined and sped up, enabling CONI to put its athletes and officials, departing for the various international competitions, in the best possible conditions from the moment they enter the airport. This agreement also helps to spread a healthy sports culture through the our champions’ stories, in what is increasingly becoming a meeting place and the most important gateway to our country. This also a unique way for our flag-bearers to promote Italy throughout the world”.

Fiumicino airport excels in the quality of passenger services, technological innovation and infrastructure functionality. For several years, in fact, 'Leonardo da Vinci' has been among the best airports in the western world, always offering a service at the highest level in terms of quality, sustainability and operational excellence. Even during the pandemic, one of the most difficult and challenging periods for the air transport sector, travellers were able to appreciate the efforts of Aeroporti di Roma in always guaranteeing a top level of service.
