This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Field and clock profile
Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport is a low-elevation field at 427 ft (130 m), positioned at 41.7988° N, 12.5953° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 7,226 ft / 2,202 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Rome (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
City and airport alternatives
Ciampino is the closest retained city-time anchor at 558 m. FCO Rome is the closest retained airport alternative at 28 km.
Country airport peers
CIA is compared with FCO Rome at 28 km, NAP Napoli at 174 km, FLR Firenze (FI) at 251 km, BLQ Bologna at 322 km, BRI Bari at 355 km inside the retained Italy airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
Route geometry

Runway identifiers
15/33
OurAirports classifies CIA as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Rome.
CIA (LIRA) is a low-elevation field at 427 ft (130 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
CIA sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
CIA's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 7,226 ft / 2,202 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Aeroporti di Roma SpA is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for CIA.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at adr.it, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for CIA
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
CIA uses Europe/Rome (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport is about 12 km from central Rome; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
FCO Rome is the closest retained alternate at 28 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
adr.it is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place CIA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
CIA ranks #4 in the curated Italy airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 12 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
CIA shares Europe/Rome with BGY Orio al Serio (BG) IT · BLQ Bologna IT · BRI Bari IT · FCO Rome IT · FLR Firenze (FI) IT · GOA Genova (GE) IT. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
CIA is 427 ft (130 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include DTM 425 ft (130 m) (2 ft delta) · SEA 433 ft (132 m) (6 ft delta) · SOC 421 ft (128 m) (6 ft delta) · SYR 421 ft (128 m) (6 ft delta) · MEL 434 ft (132 m) (7 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
CIA's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are FCO 28 km +0h · NAP 174 km +0h · FLR 251 km +0h.

Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Rome is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from CIA, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
