Airport Advertising in India - Overview

Why Brands Are Investing in Airport Advertising

High-Value, Captive Audience

Executives, tourists, and NRIs are among the wealthy and active travelers that frequent airports; they spend a lot of time waiting and are more responsive to

advertisements.Stronger brand recall is fostered by this setting. Examples show that after seeing airport advertisements, frequent travelers

engaged (79% shopped, 67% dined).

Rapid Post-COVID Growth

With travel rebounding sharply—domestic and international passenger traffic up significantly in FY25—advertising demand and ad

rates have consequently surged by 10–15%.

Premium Brand Positioning

Ads in airports are seen as more prestigious. Campaigns in such sophisticated settings enhance brand perception. Scientific placement yields better

outcomes than conventional billboards.

Digital & Innovation-Driven Formats

India’s OOH/DOOH (Out-of-Home/Digital Out-of-Home) market is booming, valued at $500 million in 2024 and projected to grow to $656 million by 2030.

Airport-based inventory is among the fastest growing segments. Airports now feature interactive screens, giant LED walls, immersive media corrdiors, digital totems, and more, enabling

creative storytelling.
