Official taxis are metered, whereas unofficial cabs may be far more expensive and unreliable. Buses run to and from the airport, but they tend to be very crowded and not suitable for travellers with large amounts of luggage. There is very limited parking available at the airport, so it may be advisable to make alternative arrangements for vehicle storage and parking elsewhere.

The airport is quite small, so it is relatively easy to find your way to the check-in desks without any problems. Allow extra time for baggage checks and check-ins if you are travelling at peak times and during weekends. A lounge for Business and First Class passengers is available, while the public lounge area is comfortable and has some family facilities for mothers and babies.
Facilities and amenities
Facilities are a little limited at the airport, but there are plans to expand both the catering and the retail outlets of the airport in future. Vendors provide light snacks and drinks, and Wi-Fi is available but limited.
