Fiumicino Airport, first meeting of the public debate on the development plan. It closes at the end of November

The public debate on the development plan for Fiumicino airport began on Wednesday evening in the hall of Villa Guglielmi, in the airport municipality, in front of an audience of over a hundred people in attendance and another 50 via streaming.

This is the first of three meetings scheduled until November in the area after the publication of the project report, last September 23, on the dpsviluppofiumicino.it website.

During the event, in addition to the person responsible for the public debate, Andrea Pillon, of the Avventura Urbana company, and the technicians of Aeroporti di Roma, the president and CEO of ADR, Vincenzo Nunziata and Marco Troncone, the mayor of Fiumicino Mario Baccini, and the undersecretary of Labor Claudio Durigon spoke remotely, after a presentation of the general contents of the plan, drawn up by ADR, which envisages 9 billion in investments, and developed with Enac.

The project responds to the expected traffic demand of 100 million passengers per year and includes a new Terminal with 76 gates in the eastern area of ​​the airport and a fourth runway parallel to Runway 3, thanks to which it will be possible to reduce the extension of the current Runway 1, which will only be used for landings at certain times of the day with a consequent drastic reduction of up to 80% in the noise to which the population is exposed.

The Undersecretary of Labor Claudio Durigon, in his introductory greeting, highlighted how «Fiumicino Airport is a jewel in the crown of Italy, as well as one of the most important hubs at an international level» and with the development plan «there is the possibility of significantly increasing the workforce for the city of Fiumicino, for the Province of Rome and above all for Lazio. Talking about jobs and growth for Fiumicino Airport can only give us hope for our future."
