12 airportsPrimary zone: Europe/Rome
This page lists 12 retained airport records in our curated Italy airport catalog with IATA and ICAO codes, city names, and local timezone information. Airport records come from OurAirports and timezone rules come from the IANA database. Click any airport for coordinates, elevation, the current local time, and nearby airports.
Content reviewed Apr 30, 2026. This airport index is reviewed as a curated reference surface. It does not claim complete aviation coverage for Italy; it lists 12 retained airport records (12 large airports) across Europe/Rome.
Coverage note. This is an airport-reference index for timezone and travel planning. It focuses on retained large and medium airport records with usable codes and coordinates, not every runway, heliport, closed facility, or local landing strip. Airport service levels, terminal operations, route availability, and codes can change; verify with the airport, airline, NOTAM, or official aviation source before travel.
Country airport evidence
Why this Italy airport page is retained
This page is classified as a multi-gateway national network. The evidence score comes from static source coverage: codes, airport facts, official domains, city-clock handoffs, IANA zones, operational facts, and country dossiers where present.
Code and entity coverage
12 IATA, 12 ICAO
12 retained records have airport-facts rows; 12 cite official airport domains and 12 carry Wikidata entity links.
Traffic and operation facts
4 passenger rows
4 records quote passenger-volume facts; 18 runway counts are aggregated where quoted; 12 records carry scheduled-service flags.
Timezone pattern
single airport-timezone cluster
The retained airport set resolves to one dominant local-clock pattern, but each airport still stores its own IANA identifier for DST-safe calculations.
Verification boundary
56 source URLs
Visible source hosts include sacbo.it, en.wikipedia.org, wikidata.org, ourairports.com, milanbergamoairport.it, aeroportobergamo.com, bologna-airport.it, seap-puglia.it. These support identity and static facts, not live routes, terminal assignments, NOTAMs, or airline schedules.
Editorial status
manual dossier attached
Manual dossier sources are attached for country-level aviation context; point-in-time statements still defer to the linked authorities.

Traveler planning patterns
How to use Italy airport data without overreading it
Start with the gateway layer
Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) is the first retained airport to check for Italy; then scan the 12 large and 0 medium records for regional alternates.
Keep airport-local time explicit
The retained airport set behaves like a single local-clock cluster, but the airport-specific IANA zone still matters around DST transitions and imported calendar events.
Use codes for the search, city pages for context
7 airport records link onward to vetted city-time pages, so a code lookup can become a local-clock, daylight, holiday, and meeting-time check.
Treat schedules as live elsewhere
12 retained records carry a scheduled-service flag, but route availability, airline service, terminals, and disruption notices are not live here.
Watch holidays and local operating days
Italy has a holiday country page on this site, so use it alongside airport time checks for closures, public-holiday pressure, and ground-service planning.
Know what the passenger data covers
4 retained airports quote passenger-volume facts. Airports without a quoted figure are not ranked by traffic on this page.
Airport coverage patterns
How the Italy airport index is structured
This page adds country-level context around airport counts, code coverage, timezone spread, and city-clock handoffs. It is built from the retained airport dataset rather than a live airline or aviation registry feed.
Coverage pattern
Italy carries 12 retained airport records spread over 11 mapped localities, split 12 large and 0 medium (12 large airports). It is built as a practical timezone and travel index, not a complete aviation registry.
Code reliability
Every retained Italy record carries both an IATA and an ICAO code (12 of each), so passenger-facing and aviation lookups resolve consistently across the set.
Timezone spread
Every retained airport in Italy resolves to Europe/Rome (12), so the country's airport clocks move together and a single offset check covers the whole set.
Major airport examples
Standout anchors here include Bari Karol Wojtyła International Airport (BRI) in Bari, Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) in Bologna, Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA) in Rome, and Falcone–Borsellino Airport (PMO) in Palermo. Large airports lead the list because they are the most reliable hooks for travelers, city clocks, and cross-border time checks.
City-clock handoff
Airport records here hand off to indexable city pages such as Orio al Serio (BG) (BGY, LIN, MXP), Rome (CIA, FCO), Caselle Torinese (TO) (TRN), and Napoli (NAP). Handoffs are restricted to vetted city pages so the airport index does not spend crawl budget on thin local URLs.
Busiest airport
Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO) in Rome at 51 million passengers sits at the top of the curated passenger ranking for Italy. Curated passenger figures are attached to 4 retained records on this page. Aggregated curated annual passenger volume across those records is 77 million. Numbers come from the airport-facts curation file and reflect the latest year quoted there, not a live traffic feed.
International gateway count
6 retained records carry an international-gateway role label in the curated airport facts for Italy. Notable hub airlines in the curation file include Ryanair, DHL Aviation, ITA Airways, and Wizz Air. Role labels are derived from OurAirports type plus airport naming; verify scheduled international service with the carrier before booking.
Regional peer comparison
Italy has 12 retained airport records vs. Spain 12, Russia 14, France 15 in the same continent. This is a structural comparison of retained-record counts, not an audit of national aviation policy or fleet size.
Operational depth
Across the retained Italy set we have 18 curated runway records, 4 curated terminal records, and 12 airports flagged with scheduled service. Operational facts come from the Wikipedia-derived airport-facts curation, which is sparse for smaller airports and not a substitute for the airport authority's own data.
Traveler boundary: use these records for timezone orientation and airport discovery. Verify live operations, route availability, terminal status, and NOTAM-sensitive details with official airport, airline, or aviation sources.

Time-zone span
Single-zone airport clock for Italy
All retained airport records resolve to one IANA timezone (Europe/Rome, UTC+02:00 CEST with DST). Local-clock math is simpler here than in multi-zone countries, but the airport’s stored IANA identifier is still the authoritative reference for DST transition weekends.
