AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are located within a single small terminal building, reached on foot from a central departure lounge. There is no airside train or shuttle since the terminal is compact enough to walk end-to-end in a few minutes. Security re-screening is generally not required for connecting passengers who stay airside, though transfer desks may direct some passengers through a secondary check depending on origin.
