Lamezia Terme is a small single-terminal regional airport serving Calabria, built for point-to-point leisure and domestic traffic rather than connections. There are no true hub operations, so passengers connecting here benefit from short walking distances but must contend with thin schedules and infrequent flight banks. SUF has a single compact terminal building with all gates accessible on foot within a few minutes; there is no airside train or shuttle. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen flights (e.g. UK) must clear passport control and often walk back through security/passport re-checks before continuing to a connecting gate.
