Salvador's Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães Airport is a compact single-terminal facility that primarily serves as a regional gateway for Bahia and the Northeast, with domestic connections dominating traffic. Connections are generally straightforward given short walking distances, though the single security checkpoint and modest international facilities can create bottlenecks at peak hours or when passport control is involved. All operations run through a single terminal building, so domestic-to-domestic connections are simply a walk between gates along one concourse. International departures use a separate wing with its own check-in and passport control area, requiring an additional walk and screening for passport/customs formalities when transferring to or from an international flight.
