ROME: Rome’s Ciampino airport will shut to passenger flights from Friday, authorities said, with a terminal also closing at the city’s main Fiumicino facility next week as airlines slash flights to Italy over the coronavirus outbreak. Ciampino will close to passengers at midnight Friday, a spokesman for the ADR company that runs both airports told AFP, with Terminal 1 at Fiumicino closing on Tuesday.“The decision has been made necessary by the numerous cancellations of flights to and from Italy announced by many airline companies,” the statement went on.
As part of a raft of measures aimed at containing Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak, the Italian government has said only essential travel is permitted.
