Rome Fiumicino International Airport | Rome Airport

The Airports Council International (ACI) has named Rome Fiumicino International Airport as the winner of this year’s “Best Airport Award” at its 35th General Assembly on June 19, 2025. This marks the seventh consecutive year that the airport has been recognized in the category for European airports serving over 40 million passengers.

The award highlights excellence in staff performance, digital innovation, technology, and sustainable infrastructure. An independent panel comprising eight representatives from the European aviation sector evaluated candidates. The jury included members from organizations such as the European Commission, EUROCONTROL, and the International Transport Forum (ITF).

Rome Fiumicino was praised for its environmental efforts, notably with the launch of Europe’s largest self-consumption solar farm. According to ACI, the airport generates 30 GWh/year through solar energy and reduces CO2 emissions by over 11,000 tons annually. Additionally, it employs a data-driven approach to manage operations and maintains strong relationships with institutional stakeholders.

Handling over 40 million passengers each year, Rome Fiumicino managed 49 million travelers in 2024 alone. Passenger traffic increased by 7% in the first five months of 2025 compared to last year. Marco Troncone, CEO of Aeroporti di Roma, commented on this achievement: “We are seeing strong growth in traffic towards our country... For this reason, we are ready to launch the new 9 billion euro airport development plan.”

Furthermore, Rome Fiumicino received global recognition from Skytrax as it ranked eighth among the world’s best airports in 2025. Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport was ranked seventh globally by Skytrax but did not receive recognition from ACI this year.

Skytrax evaluates airports based on product and service quality with a focus on customer experience throughout their journey. In contrast, ACI emphasizes connectivity, passenger experience, operational efficiency with particular attention to technology and sustainability.

The top ten airports according to Skytrax include Singapore Changi International Airport at number one followed by Doha Hamad International Airport and Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

In other related news from Skytrax's World Airline Awards announced during a ceremony at Le Bourget's Air and Space Museum; Qatar Airways was awarded World's Best Airline for its ninth time since these awards began in 1999.

London Heathrow International Airport also received high praise despite not winning an award this year; it remains one of the busiest globally due to its excellent connectivity including transatlantic routes while being acknowledged for proactive sustainability efforts previously commended by ACI.
