AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Flight schedules are extremely limited, often just one or two departures a day, so true same-day connections are rare and should be booked with a full day buffer.
There is minimal signage infrastructure since the airport handles very low passenger volumes, so ask ground staff directly for guidance.
Bring cash or a card for the small café, as options for food while waiting are very limited.
Weather-related delays are common due to the airport's location near the Andes, so build in extra buffer time regardless of official connection minimums.
Baggage handling is manual and can be slow, so confirm your checked bags will make a tight connection with airline staff directly.

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one small terminal building with a single gate area, so all passengers use the same check-in counters, security point, and gate hold room. Walking distance from entrance to gate is under two minutes, and there is no airside separation between domestic arrivals and departures requiring re-screening.
