It operates mainly regional flights and serves as a gateway for travelers visiting this vibrant city. Upon arrival, you'll find two primary terminals that handle domestic flights.

Expect varied traffic patterns; during peak hours, the journey could take longer as commuters fill the roads.

Despite the short distance, it’s wise to plan your route according to the time of day to avoid long waits.
