The access from the parking lot to the building and to the exit to the aircraft is also designed to be accessible. The specially adapted toilets are visibly marked, and wheelchairs are available for passengers, which can be provided by the airport staff upon request.

In the event that a passenger needs to use the services of airport staff, this must be reported no later than 48 hours before the scheduled departure to the airline, either through the website (at the time of booking the ticket) or through the call center, or by notifying the travel agency.
