The announcement was made by the CEO of Aeroporti di Roma, Marco Troncone, in the presence of more than 500 Aeroporti di Roma passengers and staff who, inside the specially set up boarding area E, gave life to a real silent disco: a choreography with DJ set in headphones for an afternoon of fun and entertainment open to the participation of all those present. ACI awarded Fiumicino Airport the ACI Europe Best Airport Award 2023 in the category of hubs with more than 40 million passengers. In addition to the recognition of "Leonardo da Vinci," This is a result that for six consecutive years has put the airport at the top of the European ranking on service quality expressed directly by passengers, and to the 5 Skytrax stars awarded to the Roman airport in January this year for operational excellence and quality of service provided to passengers. The evaluation criteria for Best Airport 2023 focused on operational resilience and sustainability in the context of recovery from COVID-19. What made the Leonardo da Vinci's Airport win possible was Aeroporti di Roma's excellent performance on some key drivers such as sustainability and innovation.
