The most interesting things can be found on the terminal side of it and that’s not the place you park your aircraft. A little more attention to details on the ‘air side’ of this airport would have been nice. For € 25,99 You get a large airport that adds realism to your sim. Overall it’s a nice add-on for the simmers that likes to do a long haul flight to or from Rome. The public side of the airport has a lot more interesting things to look at. At first I was a bit disappointed by the grey look of the airport and the small amount of details and objects on the airside.

The following decades saw several new boarding bridges and piers being added, until the connected, semicircular terminal building of today was finished. The airport was officially inaugurated in 1960. In 1947, construction began anew, but it dragged on for 13 years. Originally planned from 1939, the project was abandoned due to the Second World War. The Airport Rome-Fiumicino looks back to a lively past. Adding to that, AESLite is included for active ground vehicle traffic.
