Rome Viterbo Airport

is a proposed re-use of Viterbo Air Force Base, a civilian, commercial and military airport 50 kilometers north of Rome, Italy.

Originally opened as a military airport in 1936, the airfield was dedicated to Tommaso Fabbri [ [http://www.aeronautica.difesa.it/SitoAM/Default.asp?idsez=939&idarg=1069&idente=462 La fondazione dell'Aeroporto di Viterbo] ] and is situated 3 km north of the town of Viterbo in the Lazio region.

On November 26, 2007, Italian transport minister Alessandro Bianchi announced that Viterbo had been chosen by the Italian Ministry of Transport as the site of the next Airport to serve Rome, alongside Leonardo da Vinci Airport, and Rome Ciampino Airport. It was chosen over alternative sites in Latina, Frosinone, and Guidonia.

It is currently the site of a non-directional beacon designated VIB [http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=IT93136 World Aero Data: VITERBO -- LIRV] , but its IATA Airport Code has not yet been determined.
