Tips for 40 min Connections
Reconfirm your onward flight in person at the small ticket counter, as schedules for inter-island carriers can shift with little notice.
Carry-on bags are recommended since baggage handling is manual and slow for tight connections.
There is minimal or no seating/shopping in the terminal, so plan for a warm, basic waiting area if your layover runs long.
If flying different airlines, walk directly to their counter after landing since there is no automated transfer desk.
Because flights are infrequent, treat any 'missed connection' as a multi-hour wait rather than a quick rebooking.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal building with a single apron, so passengers walk directly from the aircraft steps into the terminal and back out to the next aircraft; no shuttle, train, or bus is needed. Security re-screening is minimal or informal, typically a single hand-search/metal-detector check shared by all departing flights.
