The new FCO Connect check-in area in Rome Fiumicino Airport’s railway station, is an innovative train-air product.
Checking-in seconds after stepping off the train
Developed by Trenitalia, ITA Airways and Aeroporti di Roma, the new check-in desks can be used by passengers travelling to the airport on a Frecciarossa train, or on a Leonardo Express train in conjunction with a high-speed train to Rome’s central Termini station, and departing on an international or intercontinental flight operated by ITA Airways (with the exception of the USA and Israel). This means these passengers can check in and deliver their baggage seconds after stepping off the train in the airport station. 
More efficient connectivity for passengers
The new integrated product is another step by ITA Airways to team up with key passenger transport players, and to reply to the diverse needs of travellers by offering integrated and efficient travel experiences, said Fabio Lazzerini, ITA Airways CEO and general manager. "Integrated train-to-air mobility, through our airport hub, will enable more efficient connectivity to and from Italian cities with international destinations."
“We put ourselves in the passenger’s shoes”
"We put ourselves in the passenger's shoes and thought about how to make the service better, guaranteeing a simple experience from the minute they buy a ticket,” said Luigi Corradi, CEO and general manager of Trenitalia. "Working together as a system is crucial for the development of intermodality, which is a key theme in Trenitalia's strategy."
Making train-air travel an advantageous alternative
For Marco Troncone, managing director of Aeroporti di Roma, intermodality is a way to multiply sustainable connectivity opportunities.
"Together with ITA Airways and Trenitalia, our aim is to make integrated train-air travel an advantageous alternative for passengers."
