There is one small terminal building serving the apron, so any 'transit' is a short walk across the ramp or through the single lounge area. There is no interterminal transport system because there is only one facility, and no dedicated connections infrastructure exists.

What happens if I miss my connection at GCJ?
Because GCJ has no scheduled commercial airline network, there is no formal rebooking process; passengers must contact their charter company, flight school, or private operator directly to arrange alternative plans.
