AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All operations run through one terminal building, so passengers walk between the domestic and international concourses via a shared central hall. International arrivals must clear immigration and collect/recheck bags before reaching the domestic side, which is the main bottleneck rather than distance.
