Florence’s Peretola airport and Rome’s Ciampino airport will fully reopen May 4, according to Italian Transport Minister Paola De Micheli.
The two airports will reopen after a request by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority “to meet the increased traffic needs and at the same time allow the testing of a screening system for Covid-19 passengers,” a note from the Transportation Ministry read.
The note also said that long-distance railway connections will be implemented.
All civilian flight operations have been suspended since March 14 at these two airports.
