Chicago Midway (MDW) Airport Advertising

Chicago MDW Airport Advertising

Serving Greater Chicago and the counties in the area, Chicago Midway Airport is one of the fastest growing airports in the nation, indeed, in North America. Just a 30 minute drive from Chicago’s city center, or about 10 miles from downtown, the airport is easily accessible via multiple highways. The CTA Orange Line also runs from the airport to downtown Chicago.

Chicago Midway Airport advertising will be exposed to roughly 21 million passengers each year, giving brands plenty of opportunity to reach travelers. The airport features mostly regular and low-cost airlines, including Southwest, for destinations in North America and around the globe. Frequent airline deals bring even more people to the airport and new self-serve kiosks and Automated Passport Control allows passengers to process themselves rapidly. In the near future, the airport plans to expand considerably. The addition of a 74 room hotel in the airport, as well as a massive upgrade in the near future will also help bring in more customers.

With CTA airport advertising, brands will get noticed by both international and domestic passengers, via digital market, as well as static marketing in the form of wall displays, experiential and large format ads. Brands can take full advantage of the massive traffic through the airport and turn attention to their publicity through multiple ads.
