Leonardo da Vinci Airport serves more than 26 million passengers per year, and more than 100 airlines, in three terminals all housed beneath one enormous roof. Domestic flights operate out of Terminal A; Terminal B handles both domestic and international flights; and Terminal C serves international flights exclusively.
