The 28 million passengers of the airport will pass through the four terminal buildings that house the passenger facilities, named as Terminals A, B, C and E. The majority of the terminals are used for domestic flights, however, the airport also handles a large number of international passengers, who will arrive at Terminal E. The terminal of arrival will mainly depend on the airline company with which the passenger is flying. Although similar facilities are found in each of the airport buildings, it is sometimes necessary to transfer from one terminal to another. There are free shuttle buses that run twenty-four hours a day for this purpose, or passengers can use the moving walkways between Terminals A, B and E. The shuttle buses can accommodate disabled persons, as well as luggage items. They are also equipped with visual and audio stop announcement systems.

To hire from all vehicle categories, the primary renter should be 25 years of age or older, however, younger drivers still have a choice of several categories.
