Private Jet Charter from Rome
Rome operates a clean two-airport split for private aviation: Ciampino (CIA) is the central, fast-handling field for light and mid-size jets, while Fiumicino (FCO) absorbs heavy and intercontinental traffic through its dedicated GAT. CIA is 20 minutes from the historic centre and the practical choice for almost every weekday business mission; FCO adds 25–35 minutes but offers 24/7 operations, no slot constraints and full wide-body capability. The market is bigger than Milan during state-visit, Vatican and major fashion-event weeks.
