AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one terminal building, so passengers move between gates entirely on foot, typically 5-15 minutes depending on gate assignment. International arrivals must pass through Polícia Federal immigration control and collect/re-check bags through customs before reaching the domestic departure area, effectively requiring re-screening and a full security re-entry for onward domestic flights.
