Fiumicino, 18 July 2016 – The company Aeroporti di Roma immediately imposed the maximum financial penalty on handling company Aviapartner for its methods of managing the Iberia flight, bound for Vigo, the images of which were reported by certain news sites.

The handler, having moved the aircraft, which was pushed by the aircraft’s staff instead of by using its own means (push-back), was in fact responsible for breaching the procedures provided for by the airport regulations for moving aircraft and vehicles within the "airside" area.

Aeroporti di Roma, a member of the Atlantia Group, manages and develops the airports of Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino and performs other activities related and complementary to airport management. Fiumicino operates through four passenger terminals. It is dedicated to business and leisure customers for domestic, international and intercontinental travel; Ciampino airport is mainly used by low-cost airlines, by express couriers, and for General Aviation activities. In 2015 ADR recorded, as an airport system, over 46 million passengers with 240 worldwide destinations reachable from Rome, thanks to about 100 airlines operating at the two airports.
