AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
DKR operated as a single terminal building, so all passengers — domestic, regional, and international — moved through one shared concourse on foot. There was no airside train or shuttle system since the entire facility could be crossed in under ten minutes; the real bottleneck was queuing at immigration and security rather than physical distance.
