The Leonardo Express is an airport rail service linking the center of Rome with its largest airport, Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport, in the region of Lazio, central Italy.
Service
The service is operated by Trenitalia, and takes 32 minutes to travel the 37 kilometres (23 mi) between its two stops.
The service opened in December 1989.
Leonardo Express operates every 15 minutes, in some time slots the frequencies rise up to 30 minutes per train. The train station Fiumicino Aeroporto is located inside the airport and is easily accessible.
In 2023, Trenitalia announced in collaboration with Fiumicino's operator Aeroporti di Roma and ITA Airways that they planned to offer a combined rail-air ticket that would also allow passengers to check their bags for air travel at Fiumicino station.
Rolling stock
The service is entirely operated by ETR 425 "Jazz" EMU convoys in airport livery, essentially composed of white, red and green, which recall the Italian tricolour. These trains have been in service on the line since July 2015.
