AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All piers branch off the single central terminal building, so passengers move entirely on foot along connecting corridors with no train or shuttle required. Transfer passengers pass through a dedicated transfer security checkpoint before reaching departure gates, and this re-screening is the main bottleneck rather than distance.
