AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building, so 'connecting' simply means walking from the arrivals area through the shared hall to the departure gate/apron. There is no airside train, shuttle, or bus system, and re-screening at the single security checkpoint is typically required for all outbound passengers regardless of connection status.
