Getting Around PVR Airport
The airport features a two-story passenger terminal that is designed to streamline the travel experience. On the ground floor, you will find the main entrance, a check-in area, and the arrivals section, which houses customs, immigration facilities, and baggage claim services. This level also offers amenities such as car rental services, taxi stands, snack bars, and souvenir shops to meet your immediate needs upon arrival.
Once you proceed to the upper floor, you will encounter the security checkpoint and the departures area. The departures area is divided into two main sections: Concourse A and Concourse B. Concourse A, which serves domestic flights, includes gates 1-5A and offers waiting areas with shops, food stands, and a VIP lounge. Gates 1-3 are equipped with jet bridges, while gates 4 and 5 allow boarding directly from the apron.
