How airports turn passenger flow into measurable media value

Convert passenger dwell time into premium advertising yield

Screens across terminals, security areas, gates, and lounges transform passenger dwell time into high-quality advertising impressions. Airports stay in control of placements and brand suitability, while unlocking premium media revenue beyond aeronautical income.

Activate audiences based on travel context

Passenger context offers unique targeting dimensions — destination, travel purpose, time of day, or terminal zone. These signals enable relevant messaging that aligns with the travel mindset and increases campaign effectiveness for advertisers.

Engage passengers at the right moment

Airports provide multiple decision moments throughout the journey. Contextual messaging can promote brands, services, or offers precisely when passengers are most receptive — from arrival to boarding.
