AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building, so passengers simply walk from the arrival gate to the departure gate area, often crossing the same shared lounge. There are no shuttles, trains, or inter-terminal transfers required. Security re-screening is minimal since arriving and departing domestic passengers typically pass through a single central checkpoint.
