AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal shed and one apron, so all arriving and departing flights use the same space. There is no shuttle, no train, and no security re-screening between flights since there is effectively no separate airside zone.

Excessive for this location, though flight schedules may simply not allow shorter waits. See full 3 hr guide →
