All airports are serviced by some sort of public transportation - at the smallest places it may be a shared van or other form of taxi.TaxiThere is the ordinary car taxi. This type can also be a small van, so ask for a large cab if the group is larger than four. All taxis carry a sign on the roof, illuminated if vacant.
