Trenitalia has introduced new direct Frecciarossa high speed services between the cities of Naples and Florence and Rome’s Fiumicino airport. This is the train operator’s first step in the integration between train and air traffic. Another novelty is the direct services between Rome airport and the stations of Napoli Centrale and Napoli Afragola.
Fiumicino airport with high-speed trains
There are also three new Frecciarossa trains operating to and from Fiumicino; two to and from Naples and one departing from Florence’s Firenze Santa Maria Novella. These are in addition to the Frecce (express trains) to and from Venice, Padua, Bologna, Florence and Rome, the direct Leonardo Express between Fiumicino and Rome’s central Termini station, and the numerous regional connections on the FL1 Fiumicino Airport-Rome-Orte line.
Arrive in New York in the afternoon from Rome or Florence
The connections and timetables have been studied by Trenitalia and Aeroporti di Roma to best integrate the high-speed trains with intercontinental flights arriving and departing from Italy's leading airport hub. This greater integration between train and plane is aimed at consolidating Leonardo da Vinci airport's role as a smart hub, and thanks to these services passengers can arrive in New York in the early afternoon from Naples or Florence.
