Charlotte (CLT) Airport Advertising
Charlotte Douglas International Airport has been in operation since 1935, when it was known as Charlotte Municipal Airport. Renamed in 1954 for mayor Ben Elbert Douglas Senior, the airport only received its current name in 1982. It’s a joint military and civil international airport and serves as the second largest hub in the world for American Airlines. It currently serves around 44.9 million passengers on an annual basis and is focused on growth.
CLT airport advertising reaches a wide variety of passengers, both domestic and international, thanks to being the 6th busiest airport in the U.S. It is also one of the largest airports serving flights to the Caribbean. The airport has even received an Eagle Award in 2010 for Best Airport, from the International Air Transport Association. This was due to the outstanding service and economical value to clients.
The airport is completely self-sustained, with no general fund revenues used for operations. The income from the airport covers all operating and capital costs, making it one of the few airlines that is completely auto-sustainable. This has resulted in better quality of service and makes the airport quite popular. Charlotte Douglas International Airport advertising includes a wide range of choices, including wraps, wall ads and large print, as well as screen and digital ads. Consistent growth means that CLT airport advertising is moving steadily forward and exposing more passengers every year to the ad campaigns throughout the airport.

CLT Airport Advertising About to See a Boost in Views
Posted: June 08, 2017
Airport advertisers will be seeing a higher than usual ROI this summer in several areas, but especially Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Airport officials anticipate record numbers of passengers and have seen a massive increase in flight bookings in and out of the airport.
Increased numbers of passengers mean more eyes on CLT airport advertising. However, it means a lot more than just passengers rushing past marketing displays. Since the airport will be teeming with extra travelers, officials are warning people to show up early for their flight and anticipate long lines throughout the airport, particularly at security checkpoints. While that’s a bummer for travelers, it’s actually a good thing for airport advertising.
Passengers standing in line or sitting in a waiting room are fairly captive audiences and will be more likely to pay attention to anything that entertains or interests them. Charlotte Douglas airport advertising can be designed to provide a much needed distraction from all the waiting, making it that much more effective.
The traffic at Charlotte Douglas has been steadily increasing over the past few years and is set to continue rising. Ongoing construction is in progress to help the airport cater to its increased number of passengers. The airport is also offering suggestions to help reduce the congestion as more and more fliers arrive. For example, airport officials suggest taking a taxi or Uber to arrive at the airport, since the parking lots are not currently equipped to handle the large amounts of vehicles. They also suggest having someone drop passengers off and using the hourly lot, which offers free parking for the first hour.
With so many people traveling out of this international airport, things can move pretty slowly. Airport advertising that works well in these situations include wall displays and banners, as well as mobile ads. With over 34,500 local travelers moving through the airport daily and another 100,000 transferring between planes every day, there’s no shortage of eyes to see the ads throughout the airport. Keep the ads interesting and people will stay tuned in during their wait.
Marketers can take full advantage of the high numbers of passengers moving through airports, as well as making use of the long wait times. While Charlotte Douglas International airport advertising may be increasing, this is actually true for many airports across the country. Summer is high travel time and it’s the ideal time to market to the many travelers who are moving around the country.
