ACI World’s Airport Health Measures Audit Programme, which two of Rome’s major airports have now completed, is designed to offer additional reassurance to passengers when travelling amidst COVID-19.
Airports Council International (ACI) World and ACI Europe have congratulated Rome-Fiumicino International Airport (FCO) and Rome-Ciampino International Airport (CIA) for being the first in the world to successfully complete the Airport Health Measures Audit Programme.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to devastate passenger traffic at airports around the world. To support the airport industry’s recovery, a commitment to the health and welfare of travellers, staff and the public is key. ACI World’s Airport Health Measures Audit Programme – developed in partnership with Bureau Veritas – supports airports by addressing their specific risks and by reassuring passengers through an on-site audit.
Aeroporti di Roma’s Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports have successfully completed the audit and can display the SafeGuardTM label, demonstrating their compliance with a harmonised set of measures, aligned with the recommendations of national and international authorities.
