AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
PEN operates from a single terminal building with domestic and international sections separated by immigration and security checkpoints. Passengers connecting from international to domestic (or vice versa) must clear immigration, while domestic-to-domestic transfers typically just require a walk through the shared departure area without re-screening.
