To leave the airport, several prepaid taxi stands are located in the corridor just before the exit, the most economical being the least attractive, the last on the right of the exit. The former domestic airport is in Santacruz, 26 km north of the city centre: it is now part of the international airport, it corresponds to Terminal 1.
