international arrivals

Overseas passengers landing

International arrivals is the section of an airport where passengers arriving from other countries clear customs and immigration before entering the country.

Signs direct travelers to international arrivals to meet incoming passengers: I'll pick you up at international arrivals.

The phrase also refers collectively to the passengers themselves: International arrivals are up this quarter.
