  "connection_tips": "Leuchars Station Airfield is an operational military aerodrome rather than a public airline airport, so most travelers should not think of it as a place for normal commercial connections. RAF information for Leuchars makes clear that the station remains active year-round, with flying routinely Monday to Friday and additional activity approved as required. The same official guidance says all airfield users, military and civilian, must be familiar with the Defence Aerodrome Manual before operating there.\n\nThat matters because authorized civilian access is procedural rather than casual. Existing local guidance for ADX emphasizes prior coordination, and the aerodrome sits within a military environment where security, handling, and operating hours are controlled. There is no official viewing area, drone use is tightly restricted within the flight restriction zone, and the station's contact structure is built around operational approval rather than walk-up passenger service. In short, if your itinerary depends on ADX, it should already be a managed military, training, or approved civilian movement before the day of travel.\n\nFor ordinary trips to St Andrews, Dundee, or the east of Scotland, Edinburgh and other public airports remain the practical connection points. If you are one of the few users cleared for Leuchars, confirm your permissions, timings, and handling arrangements well in advance and keep in mind that flying outside standard weekday windows must be approved beforehand. The main risk at ADX is not finding your gate; it is assuming public-airport flexibility at a controlled military field that does not operate that way.",

  "terminal_info": "Leuchars Station Airfield (ADX), with ICAO code EGQL, located in Leuchars, Fife, on the east coast of Scotland, is primarily a British Army installation, known as Leuchars Station. It serves military operations, including acting as a diversion airfield for military aircraft from RAF Lossiemouth. While the airfield is fully operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it does not operate as a public commercial passenger airport.\n\nAs a military airfield, Leuchars does not have typical civilian terminal facilities. Any terminal areas are rudimentary and are not designed for general public access. Passenger amenities are extremely limited, with accommodation available only for service personnel. The layout is highly controlled and security-focused, with operations geared towards efficient, secure movements for authorized military personnel, VIPs, or specific charters.\n\nSecurity procedures at ADX are exceptionally stringent, reflecting its critical military role. All personnel and baggage undergo thorough screening protocols that are far more extensive than typical commercial airport procedures. Access to the base and any terminal area is highly restricted, requiring proper authorization and identification. For any international flights (which are highly specialized and not public commercial), immigration and customs facilities would be handled discreetly and efficiently for authorized personnel within the secure environment of the base. There are no public immigration or customs services in the traditional commercial sense.",
