Tips for 55 min Connections
Check in early since there is only one small check-in hall and it can feel congested during peak summer charter waves.
There are no moving walkways or trains needed—everything from curb to gate is a short walk.
Non-Schengen arrivals (like UK flights) go through passport control, which can add a short queue during busy summer afternoons.
Confirm your connection is even possible, as RJK has very few same-day onward flights and most passengers are on single point-to-point itineraries.
If flying seasonal charters, build in extra buffer time since schedules can shift and ground handling is limited.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
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 level for check-in, security, and gates, so all 'transit' is a short walk of a few minutes. Passengers on non-Schengen flights (e.g., UK charters) pass through passport control, but there is no separate terminal or shuttle system to navigate.
