Dubai DXB Airport Advertising

Considered to be the Favorite Airport for Layovers by Conde Nast Traveller Awards and Airport of the Year by Air Transport News, Dubai International Airport is a popular place to fly in or out of. It has also been awarded Best Airport in the Middle East, Best Customer Service and multiple other awards. It’s also the fastest growing airport anywhere in the world. Located just 4 kilometers outside of Dubai, DXB is a massive airport serving the Al Garhoud and Dubai areas.

Dubai International Airport features three terminals, two long runways, and an on-site hotel. It can be reached from Dubai via road or metro, so it’s quite simple to get there. The airport also offers Snooze-Cubes, which are soundproof spaces for sleep and rest within the airport. While the current capacity of the airport is 77 million people annually, it will soon be able to manage 90 million, thanks to ongoing expansions.

This elegant and luxurious airport is designed to be comfortable and pleasant for passengers, putting them in the mood to be sold to. Dubai International Airport advertising maximizes this effect through the use of both digital and static advertising formats. Brands may opt for either on, choosing WiFi ads, wall displays, printed poster ads and more. DXB airport advertising has plenty to offer brands.

Dubai Offers International Day of Happiness Taxi Rides


Posted: April 5, 2018

Holidays are a great way to promote your business and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority decided to take advantage of the method. On International Happiness Day, March 20th, the organization offered several freebies for tourists and locals alike, including free city tours on a Happiness Bus, commuter gifts on public transport, and free taxi rides for 100 random passengers at the Dubai International Airport. Advertising like this takes some planning, but it is highly effective, as the experiment in Dubai showed.

DXB advertising campaigns like the Happiness Day one show the world just what is possible for companies when they think outside the box. While regular airport advertising can be quite effective, unique opportunities like the free taxi rides really catch people’s attention. Campaigns like this can also take your marketing viral, as people start to talk about it and share.

Dubai International Airport Draws Attention with Huge Gingerbread Burj Khalifa


Posted: December 20, 2017

If you’re traveling through the Dubai International Airport this holiday season, you’ll have a chance to check out the massive reproduction of the Burj Khalifa . . . in gingerbread. Created by the Address Dubai Marina, the 14 meter gingerbread structure is smack dab in the middle of Concourse B, in Terminal 3. It’s a whole new idea in airport advertising, go big or go home.

Airport adverting involves making an impact and that has certainly been the case with the gingerbread Burj Khalifa. Everyone is talking about the display and behind it all, the marina is standing tall and getting noticed. To create the impressive display, 30,000 cookie panels were baked from 180 kg of flour and 23 kg of ginger powder. It’s entirely edible, held together by more than 1,600 kg of icing sugar and 216 liters of honey. Lights, gifts and cute little gingerbread chalets surround the giant gingerbread building, making it even more festive.

When it comes to advertising in airports, the gingerbread structure is a great example of how thinking outside the box can garner more attention. Most advertisers wouldn’t attempt this type of marketing campaign, but going above and beyond the usual banners, wall wraps and digital displays can be a fun way to engage visitors. Not only did news agencies pick up the story, but the cookie structure has become a social media sensation.

As you plan out your airport advertising campaign, consider the unusual. Remember, standing out in a crowd can end up gaining you even more customers.
