Airport facts

FCO carries 1 routes and 1 airlines in our catalogue, totalling 4 weekly departures. Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci di Fiumicino (ICAO LIRF) serves Roma, Italy, in the Europe/Rome zone (UTC+2 in July). Its coordinates (41.8045, 12.2508) are the basis of every distance on this site.

• IATA: FCO
• ICAO: LIRF
• City: Roma
• Country: Italy
• Time zone: Europe/Rome
• Coordinates: 41.8045, 12.2508
• Airlines at the airport: 1

Time difference against Mexico City. In July, Roma runs 8 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC+2 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC+1, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

Coordinates, and why we publish them. 41.8045, 12.2508 is the position from which every great-circle distance on this site is computed, including the ones that set the EU261 compensation band. It is not the distance the aircraft flies — that follows airways and diversions — but the geodesic measure the regulations use. Publishing it lets anyone recompute the figures on these pages.

Airlines at FCO

1 catalogued airlines operate routes to or from FCO: 1 full-service and 0 low-cost, with checked allowance from 25 to 25 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam. They cover 1 catalogued routes and 4 weekly departures. The table below lists each operator with its type, alliance and checked allowance.

Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

Departing FCO triggers EU261 for everyone. Sitting in the EU/EEA, any flight taking off from this airport is covered by Regulation EC 261/2004 whatever the operator’s nationality: a Mexican carrier leaving here answers exactly as a European one does. The asymmetry runs the other way — flying from Mexico into FCO only enters the regulation if a Community carrier operates it.

How this list is built. These are the airlines appearing in catalogued routes that touch FCO, not the airport’s full directory: a carrier that flies here but not on a pair we cover does not appear. The type — full-service or low-cost — and the allowance come from our own record for each carrier, and where the datum does not exist we say so rather than filling it with a plausible number.

Routes to Roma (FCO)

Our catalogue lists 1 routes into FCO, totalling 4 weekly departures and spanning 10,223 to 10,223 km. The busiest is MEX-FCO at ~4 flights a week; 0 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 1 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

What traffic FCO moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Mexico-Europe corridor (VFR and Camino) (1). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Why some rows have no fare. Of the 1 routes listed, 0 returned a price on the collector’s last pass and the rest show a dash. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Connection tips

FCO concentrates 4 catalogued weekly departures across 1 airlines, in the Europe/Rome zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci di Fiumicino runs on the Europe/Rome time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at FCO is MEX-FCO (~4 flights a week). Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Roma; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.

Other airports in the same country in our catalogue, with the number of catalogued routes — useful if you need an alternative gateway:

Great-circle distance is not the transfer. The figures in the table are geodesic, computed from each airport’s coordinates; the real journey depends on whether road, rail or a domestic flight exists, and on what they cost. An airport 300 km away can be more accessible than one at 120 km if the first has a direct motorway and the second does not. Use them to rule out, not to plan.

When switching airport pays. Only when the fare gap beats the transfer plus the hotel night an early departure sometimes forces, and only with a comfortable margin: reaching the alternative airport by road introduces a risk the airline does not carry. Miss the flight in traffic and the ticket is not refunded; that risk should be netted off the saving before deciding.
