AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All flights operate from the single main terminal, so there is no inter-terminal transfer by bus or train. Passengers connecting between international flights walk from arrivals gates to the departure gate area, though transiting passengers arriving from outside Tunisia must clear immigration and often collect and recheck bags since through-checking is inconsistent, then pass security again before the gate.
