Does AdQuick have airport advertising, and how does it work?

Airport OOH through AdQuick: available formats and zones, which airports are covered, production and permitting considerations, and how to choose airports strategically.

Written by Zachary Cuva

Airports are one of OOH's most valuable environments: a captive, affluent, high-dwell-time audience. AdQuick provides access to airport inventory across major markets.


What formats exist in airports?

Digital screens (arrivals, departures, gate areas, baggage claim), large-format static (tension fabric displays, wall wraps, spectaculars), and specialty placements (jet bridges, security bins, club lounges, charging stations). Each airport's mix depends on its media operator.


Which airports are available?

Coverage spans more than 100 markets across major US hubs and international airports, with the deepest inventory in New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington DC. Airport media is sold under concession by whichever operator holds each airport's contract, so the media owner differs airport to airport; ask for current availability at the specific airports on your list.


How is airport different from roadside OOH?

  • Longer approval timelines: Airport placements usually involve a municipal partner, so creative needs approval from the airport or port authority in addition to the media owner. Add a week or two to every creative deadline versus comparable street-level inventory.

  • Higher production standards: Specialty materials and certified installation, quoted with your proposal.

  • Content review: Airports apply stricter creative approval standards.

  • Premium pricing: Reflecting audience quality and dwell time.


Choosing airports strategically

Match airports to your audience's travel patterns: business hubs for B2B (think routes, not just cities), leisure gateways for consumer travel brands, and tech-corridor airports for reaching tech decision-makers. Route data and audience composition per airport can inform the pick; ask your AdQuick team to model it.


Zone selection within an airport

Arrivals reach people entering your market (hotels, transport, local services); departures and gates offer the longest dwell times (brand storytelling, B2B); baggage claim combines dwell with arrival mindset. Zone strategy is worth as much attention as airport selection.
