🏢 Terminal Information
Ajaccio – Napoleon Bonaparte Airport (AJA) serves Corsica from a single terminal that handles both Schengen and non‑Schengen traffic. Landside, the departures hall includes airline check‑in counters and kiosks; after security, passengers reach an airside concourse with gates for domestic/Schengen flights and a controlled area for non‑Schengen services. Arrivals proceed to baggage claim and the public exit on the lower level.\n\nWalking distances are modest. From curb or parking to check‑in is typically 2–4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates takes about 3–5 minutes; to the farthest stands, 6–8 minutes. There are no inter‑terminal transfers. Signage is provided in French, Corsican, and English; wayfinding distinguishes Schengen/non‑Schengen flows.\n\nSecurity screening is centralized before departures, with summer‑peak waits around 10–25 minutes. Non‑Schengen departures clear exit passport control after security, while non‑Schengen arrivals clear immigration before baggage claim and pass customs on exit.\n\nAmenities include cafés/bars with local specialties, convenience and souvenir shops, car‑rental counters, ATMs, and quiet/prayer spaces. A small lounge may operate for eligible passengers. Free Wi‑Fi is usually available, though performance can vary during holiday peaks. Ground transport options include buses to Ajaccio, taxis at the forecourt, and adjacent rental‑car facilities.\n\nAccessibility provisions include step‑free routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms; PRM assistance can be arranged with airlines. Family facilities include baby‑changing rooms and family restrooms; bring children’s activities for peak‑season queues.
