General: |
Small regional airport that also handles international and intercontinental traffic |
Appearance: |
A modern looking building with lots of light, no air bridges so all flights have busses to and from the terminals |

Planes all park on the apron and buses take you the short distance to the terminal (in the case of my flight about 10 seconds of driving)
8 desks in the quite small immigration hall. Despite all the desks being opened with three flights landing one after each other there were very long queues
A small hall with two baggage belts
A very small corridor that leads past a couple of small rooms where people were being stopped and searched
Busses operate from the front of the terminal to the centre of town. 5 days before I used the airport the new rail link was opened to the central station

After checking in and walking through the large security screening area and passport control you end up in a very small departures lounge with not very many seats
There is a small Bar/Café area on the first floor of the landside, but nothing except vending machines airside

A couple of small shops landside, one small tax free shop and a kiosk airside
The toilets are very clean and well maintained.
