Latest airport review
Being such crowded airport is outdated for the 21st century. Need to install tunes or direct ramps to the plane, not stairs in the middle of the airfield.
It is very difficult for handicap persons to go up the stairs and have to be carried up and down to the plane in a chair. No complaints to the great attention to the airport personnel, but definitive it needs to be upgraded to the guidelines of other airports in the Country. Getting down and up a stairs to the plane is not safe and it is totally define as a third world airport.
