handeling, five star hotels and usual service is not a problem at all. If you are expecting arrival at night or in imc condition then need special care due to VOR-DME RWY o2 approach or circling 20. MSA towards North is 21000` and to the South where you are approaching is 9500`. RWY 02 VOR-DME Initial approch require about 6 digrees descend until 4DME to the rwy then normal 3.5 digrees APP path. PAPI glide path is steeper than usual 3 digree. Little steeper than GVA 05.

Have fun.
