Airports Council International (ACI) World and ACI EUROPE have announced that Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino airports are 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 recovery, a commitment to the health and welfare of travellers, staff and the public is key. The Airport Health Measures Audit Programme – developed in partnership with Bureau Veritas – supports airports by addressing their specific risks and by reassuring passengers through an onsite 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.
“We congratulate Rome Fiumicino and Rome Ciampino airports for successfully completing the Airport Health Measures Audit Programme and demonstrating that they are committed to ensuring the health and safety of passengers and staff,” says Luis Felipe de Oliveira, Director General, ACI World. “These airports have set a strong example and we will continue to work with airports around the world to support recovery so the sustainable social and economic benefits of aviation can be delivered to the communities we serve. Partnerships, like the one with Bureau Veritas which has benefitted Aeroporti di Roma, will support the aviation industry and help to push it forward during the recovery process and beyond.”
