AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building, so domestic and international flights share the same gate area and check-in hall. Passengers arriving internationally (essentially only from Panama) clear immigration and customs in a small arrivals area before rejoining the general terminal, while purely domestic-to-domestic passengers simply walk between gates with no re-screening beyond the single central security checkpoint.
