ESB has a single International Terminal with domestic connections requiring a 7-minute walk to the domestic area. Plan for a 27-minute minimum connection time; security recheck is mandatory when connecting to domestic flights. The airport is relatively compact, making navigation straightforward for most passengers.

["Security recheck required for all International to Domestic connections","Limited operational data on exact security queue times during peak hours","Minimal ground transportation options (no train or bus shuttle between terminals)"]
