AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building, so all passengers move through a single departures hall, security checkpoint, and gate area on foot. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations (e.g. UK) pass through passport control, while intra-Schengen arrivals do not require re-screening for security in most cases.

Is TSR easy to connect through?

Giarmata Airport (TSR) is a small single-terminal regional airport serving Timisoara, and genuine connecting itineraries are rare since most passengers start or end their journey here rather than transfer. The compact terminal means minimal walking, but limited staffing and infrequent flight banks make tight connections risky if your first flight is delayed. There is only one small terminal building, so all passengers move through a single departures hall, security checkpoint, and gate area on foot. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations (e.g. UK) pass through passport control, while intra-Schengen arrivals do not require re-screening for security in most cases.
