The car, the door, the aircraft. Very little in between.

Arriving and departing
From the car to the aircraft door.
What happens on the way out, step by step. Arriving runs the same way, in reverse.
-
The car stops at the terminal door.
Cars come straight to the door. The handling team takes the luggage from the car to the aircraft, so nobody carries a bag through the building.
step-free, from the car to the lounge

Through the terminal, with one team.
One single-storey terminal and one handling team, so the people who met the car are the people who load the aircraft. Departing passengers are usually through in a few minutes, once the aircraft is ready.
no names on screens or boards

The lounge, or a room to yourselves.
Hot and cold drinks, light refreshments and Wi-Fi in the main lounge. Book the private room and your party has it to itself. Catering, newspapers and flowers can be ordered through handling.
