AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building with a single gate area, so all passengers walk directly from check-in to the apron-level departure lounge. There is no airside transfer corridor; if an international security or customs re-check is needed, it happens at the same single checkpoint near the entrance.
