The magazine (published by Markonet), also dedicates a space to news regarding the airport and to events that take place directly at the Fiumicino terminal: in the first number, the star is the starred cuisine chef Heinz Beck, who opens the Leonardo Da Vinci "Attimi" restaurant.

Starting from today, the magazine has a circulation of 50,000 copies distributed at the airport stopover information desks, on the seats near the boarding gates and on dedicated stands where passengers can easily locate them.

"It is a small, free newspaper that offers a lot to travellers - explains President Carlo Rienzi – those landing at Fiumicino airport, in fact, will have at once a clear picture of the cultural events taking place in Rome, and will be able to better manage their free time. The magazine also indicates to readers the channels to get in touch with Codacons".
