AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The airport is a single building, so moving between the domestic and international sections is a short walk of 5-10 minutes along one concourse level. There is no train or shuttle needed, but any passenger arriving from outside Ecuador must pass through Immigration and collect and recheck bags at Customs before continuing to any onward flight, domestic or international, which is the real bottleneck rather than physical distance.
