I have not arrived on a domestic flight at this airport
International
After landing and coming up the airbridge you then have to go through what looks like a fire exit and down a flight of stairs to ground level to the small immigration control area, from there it's a short walk through to the very large baggage reclaim hall and then out through a set of doors to the arrivals hall.
Immigration is a couple of desks, but was speedy and efficient
The large baggage hall has a lot of belts and quite a bit of space.
There was no obvious customs control area, though there was a phone line to make customs declarations if needed, and staff keeping an eye on passengers
Two lines of the city's Metro system end at the airport providing a frequent service into the city centre, taking around 20 minutes to make the journey.

After checking in and passing through security you enter into the large continuous departure lounge that runs the whole length of the building airside. Passport booths at certain gates provide for flights going outside of the Schengen zone
