Companies worked tirelessly during those tough times, not only maintaining their operations but also building new ships slated for 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Attending the #G7 Italy's "Ministers' Meeting on Tourism" in Florence, our CEO Marco Troncone intervened in the side event "Innovation, Inspiration and Sustainability Visions for the Future of Tourism", where he shared perspectives with Italian and international CEOs, managers and entrepreneurs on the importance of infrastructures and cooperation for the #sustainable development of tourism in our Country. "At Fiumicino airport, we expect to achieve a record traffic volume, not distant from 50 mln passengers, by the end of the year. However, despite the unprecedented growth in international/intercontinental traffic recorded at #FCO - which confirms the attractiveness of Rome and Italy - still too many passengers use non-Italian hubs in Europe to stopover before reaching intercontinental destinations", Troncone stated. "Given Italy's potential to gain a more central positioning in the context of international air connectivity flows, greater investments in airport infrastructure are necessary to attract new traffic, bringing new wealth to the country. The Jubilee can stimulate this process, but action needs to be taken fast to be more internationally competitive". According to our CEO, #RomeAirports are ready to give their contribution: "Fiumicino Airport is keen to continue serving the country, thanks to infrastructure and services of excellence, the desire to be ambassador to the Italian culture and beauty, as well as the drive towards #sustainability and #innovation; in this respect, #AI is an already a key actor for us, both 'behind the scenes' at the operational level, and in terms of passengers' service". #TogetherBeyondFlying
