Rome's Fiumicino and Ciampino are the first airports in the European Union to receive the Airport Health Accreditation for the fight against the spread of covid-19 from the Airports Council International (ACI). The capital's two airports have been held up as an example of best practice for the entire air transport sector to follow, thanks to the recognition from ACI.

Marco Troncone, the CEO of Aeroporti di Roma (AdR) said the airports were "extremely proud" of the result which "confirmed our commitment in a fundamental sector, that of health, which is a priority for us." AdR has been "at the forefront of passenger service excellence and its commitment to serving the travelling public hasn’t faltered due to the catastrophic effects of the covid-19 pandemic".
