'''G. B. Pastine Rome Ciampino Airport''' {{airport codes|CIA|LIRA}} ({{Langx|it|Aeroporto internazionale di Roma-Ciampino "G. B. Pastine"}}) is Rome's secondary [[international airport]] serving [[Ciampino]], [[Rome]], its [[Metropolitan City of Rome Capital|metropolitan city]], the [[Lazio]] region and the [[Vatican City]]. It's Rome's second international airport after [[Rome Fiumicino Airport|Leonardo da Vinci–Rome Fiumicino Airport]]. It is a joint civilian, commercial and military airport situated {{convert|6.5|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} south southeast<ref name="AIP" /> of central Rome, just outside the Greater Ring Road (Italian: ''[[Grande Raccordo Anulare]]'' or ''GRA'') the circular motorway around the city.

The airport is a base for two low-cost carriers and [[general aviation]] traffic. It also hosts a military airport and the headquarters of the [[31º Stormo]] and the 2nd Reparto Genio of the [[Italian Air Force]]. The airport is named after Giovan Battista Pastine, an Italian airship pilot who served in World War I.

==History==
Ciampino Airport was opened in 1916<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/azn-history|title = History - Aeroporti di Roma}}</ref> and is one of the oldest airports still in operation.

From here, on 10 April 1926, [[Umberto Nobile]] took off on the [[Norge (airship)|airship Norge]], the first aircraft to reach the North Pole and the first to fly across the polar ice cap from Europe to America. In October 1930, the first helicopter prototype designed by [[Corradino D'Ascanio]] was tested at Ciampino Airport, reaching a record altitude of {{Convert|18|m|ft|abbr=on}}, flight time of 8 minutes 45 seconds and {{Convert|1078|m|ft|abbr=on}} distance flown.

During [[World War II]], the airport was captured by Allied forces in June 1944, and afterward became a [[United States Army Air Forces]] military airfield. Although primarily used as a transport base by [[C-47 Skytrain]] aircraft of the [[64th Troop Carrier Group]], the [[Twelfth Air Force]] [[86th Bombardment Group]] flew [[A-36 Apache]] combat aircraft from the airport during the immediate period after its capture from German forces.

When the combat units moved out, [[Air Transport Command (United States Air Force)|Air Transport Command]] used the airport as a major transshipment hub for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel for the remainder of the war.<ref>Maurer, Maurer. Air Force Combat Units of World War II. Maxwell AFB, Alabama: Office of Air Force History, 1983. {{ISBN|0-89201-092-4}}.</ref>

It was Rome's main airport until 1960, with traffic amounting to over 2 million passengers per year. After the opening of [[Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport]], Ciampino handled almost exclusively charter and executive flights for more than three decades. However, the terminal facilities were extended at the beginning of 2007 to accommodate the growing number of [[low-cost carrier]] operations.

==Facilities==
===Passenger terminal===
The airport features a single, one-story passenger terminal building containing the departures and arrivals facilities. The departures area consists of a main hall with some stores and service facilities as well as 31 check-in counters and 16 departure gates using walk or bus boarding as there are no jet-bridges. The arrivals area has a separate entrance and features four baggage belts as well as some more service counters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-cia-airport-map|title=Airport map - Aeroporti di Roma|website=www.adr.it|access-date=3 May 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014173403/http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-cia-airport-map|archive-date=14 October 2017}}</ref>

===Other usage===
The airport hosts a fleet of [[Bombardier 415]] [[aerial firefighting]] aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|title=Italian flying firefighters|url=http://www.aeromedia.it/soremgb.html|website=Aeromedia|access-date=20 December 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303233007/http://www.aeromedia.it/soremgb.html|archive-date=3 March 2016}}</ref> It is also used by [[Courier|express logistics companies]] such as [[DHL Aviation|DHL]], by official flights of the Italian Government and by planes of dignitaries visiting the Italian capital. There is also an additional smaller general aviation terminal, although private flights have now mainly been transferred to [[Rome Urbe Airport]].
