AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building, so all connecting passengers simply walk from the arrival gate area to the departure/security area on foot. There are no airside trains, shuttles, or terminal transfers, and passengers arriving from non-Schengen flights (e.g. UK) must clear passport control before rejoining the single departures area.
