Rome Ciampino Reopens After Emergency Repairs
August 4, 2005
Rome's Ciampino Airport was closed for emergency repairs for part of Thursday after a 10 square metre (107.6 sq ft) patch of asphalt came loose on the main runway.
Flights were rerouted to Rome's main Fiumicino Airport during the five hour shut down.
Officials believe the damage might have been caused by a plane during take-off.
Ciampino is primarily used by official state aircraft and low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet.
