- Limited Dining Options: While there is a café/restaurant post-security, options for food and beverages are generally considered limited, especially in the pre-security (landside) area.
- No Overnight Sleeping: The airport closes after the last flight of the day, meaning overnight sleeping in the terminal is not permitted, and travelers may be asked to leave by local authorities.
