AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All operations run through one terminal building, so passengers simply walk between the domestic and international concourses — there is no train or shuttle. International arrivals must clear Federal Police passport control and, in most cases, a security re-screening before reaching the domestic side or boarding onward flights.
