City terminal

A city terminal is an off‑airport facility, where airline passengers can complete check‑in and baggage‑handling tasks they would normally do at the airport. It is often located in a downtown transport hub or business district.

At scheduled intervals, express trains, coaches, or private shuttles carry passengers directly to the airport, with arrival times that align with flight departures.

These terminals tie directly into the airport’s systems via secure baggage conveyors. By relocating check‑in and baggage drop‑off, airport check‑in areas stay less crowded.
