AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is no multi-terminal transit system because NBG has one small operations building serving military and charter flights. Any movement between aircraft and the facility is done on foot across the ramp, with no shuttle or train infrastructure. Security screening, when required, is handled by base security or military personnel rather than TSA checkpoints found at commercial airports.
