SimPixel Rome Ciampino (LIRA) for MSFS

Discover Roma Ciampino (LIRA) – The Historic Gateway to the Eternal City

Experience the unique blend of history and modern aviation with this ultra-detailed rendition of Rome Ciampino "G.B. Pastine" International Airport (LIRA) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Located just 12 kilometers southeast of central Rome, Ciampino is one of the world’s oldest airports still in operation, having opened its gates in 1916. Today, it serves as the primary hub for low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air, while also hosting Italy’s fleet of firefighting Canadairs and significant military and general aviation traffic.

From the tightly packed aprons to the iconic view of the Roman countryside and the Castelli Romani on departure, this scenery captures the authentic atmosphere of Italy’s secondary capital hub. Whether you are flying a quick hop from London, a military transport mission, or a private jet into the heart of Italy, LIRA provides an immersive and challenging experience for every pilot.
