international terminal
Overseas flight hub
An international terminal is the section of an airport that handles flights crossing national borders, where passengers go through customs and immigration.
Domestic terminals, by contrast, serve flights within a single country.
Large airports often separate these functions into distinct buildings: We had to take a shuttle from the international terminal to catch our connecting flight.
