As much as we love the Italian culture, life, art, and food, the passage through Italian airports are the hardest. It is chaos and the rush of passengers especially during summer vacation is at its highest. According to Statista, in 2016, after combining the passenger traffic from all Italian airports, it reached approximately 165 million. It is clear which airport serves the highest traffic, when this number is broken down: 

• Rome Fiumicino airport served over 41 million.
• Milan Malpensa airport served more than 19 million.
• Bergamo Orio al Serio airport served more than 11 millions.

The capital, Rome has two bustling airports that serves different types of passengers:

• Ciampino handles low-cost carriers mostly.
• Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino handles regular flights, but the airlines are pricier.

However, Fiumicino is Rome’s main airport and Italy’s busiest airport.
