New Study Proves the Effectiveness of Airport Advertising

Airport advertising is an effective tool for brands looking to reach a broad audience on a year-round basis. Your ads can reach hundreds of thousands of passengers each year. But just how effective is airport advertising, and is it worth the investment?

83% of frequent flyers notice airport advertising and 3-out-of-4 associate airport advertising with high-quality brands.

A recently released Nielsen study for Clear Channel Outdoor, Airports Division, provides insight into travellers responses to airport advertising, and the behaviours they take after seeing an ad. The study found that airport advertising has a high recall rate and receptiveness to airport advertising. In fact, 83% of frequent flyers notice airport advertising and 3-out-of-4 associate airport advertising with high-quality brands.

Billboards located in airports reach a diverse audience, with travellers from a wide range of age groups, ethnicities, and regions passing through airports. The study also found that airport advertising is particularly effective at reaching affluent consumers, as the average household income of air travelers is higher than that of the general population.

With an average dwell time of over an hour, airport advertising offers a unique opportunity for brands to create a memorable experience for travellers. Nielsen’s study found that 79% of Frequent Flyers are open to trying new products at the airport and nearly half find it appealing to take a photo with a branded activation.

“With a current surge in air travel demand and airlines already catering to travelers by adding more flights to their summer schedules, now is the time for brands to consider activating influential and impactful ad campaigns to reach coveted business and leisure travelers.” (Clear Channel Outdoor, 2023).

With the right creative, airport ads can capture travellers’ attention and create a positive association with the brand.
