  "connection_tips": "Leo Airport serves as a vital regional hub in Burkina Faso's southwestern border region, providing essential air connectivity to rural communities. Ground transportation consists mainly of motorcycles, shared taxis, and private vehicles, with limited formal taxi services requiring advance arrangement. The airport serves critical community functions including medical evacuations, agricultural supply transport, and government services for the surrounding rural areas. The airport coordinates with Air Burkina for scheduling and maintains communication with Ouagadougou International for traffic management and emergency services.\n\nAs a small regional facility with unpaved runways, operations are heavily weather-dependent, particularly during the rainy season from June to October when flights may be delayed or canceled. The facility operates basic passenger services with minimal terminal amenities, so travelers should bring necessary supplies including water and snacks. Weather conditions can change rapidly during the wet season, affecting visibility and runway conditions, so maintaining flexible travel schedules is essential.\n\nThe airport primarily facilitates domestic connections within Burkina Faso, with most passengers connecting through Ouagadougou for international travel. Security procedures are straightforward but thorough, and all passengers should arrive at least one hour before domestic departures. Local staff are knowledgeable about regional conditions and can provide valuable assistance with ground transportation and onward travel arrangements.",

  "terminal_info": "Leo Airport is the public airfield for Leo in Burkina Faso's Sissili area, close to the Ghana border and southwest of Ouagadougou. Public aerodrome references for `DFCL` are sparse but stable on the basics: the field is open to the public, sits at roughly `1,181 ft` elevation, and has a soft-surface runway rather than a developed paved-airport layout.\n\nThat profile is what matters here. XLU is not a documented commercial terminal complex; it is a small regional access field in an agricultural border district where aviation's value lies in government, aid, medical, or occasional domestic access rather than in scheduled passenger-terminal facilities.\n\nFor terminal description, the honest version is therefore narrow and specific: Leo has a basic public airfield whose significance comes from regional access in southwestern Burkina Faso, not from built-out terminal amenities.",
