For transport, regular buses connect the airport to the nearest Metro station and the city centre, typically taking 30-45 minutes.

Comfort is key here, with spacious waiting areas, mother and baby rooms as well as prayer rooms. Stay connected using the airport Wi-Fi, available for a fee, or use the fixed internet kiosks.
