AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All terminals and facilities are housed in a single, relatively compact main terminal building, requiring walking of no more than 10–12 minutes between the farthest gates. Domestic and international operations share a common processing area with separate security lanes; international arrivals transitioning to domestic departures must pass through domestic security screening (typically co-located with immigration halls). No airside transit between zones is available.
