Why American airport advertising prices vary
The airport and terminal
John F. Kennedy, Manchester-Boston Regional and Northwest Arkansas National differ in passenger volume, airline mix and advertising inventory, so a site is worth what it does for your audience and objective, not just the passenger count.
The zone and share of display
In the United States, departures, gates, arrivals and baggage claim reach passengers at different moments, and a dedicated site is priced differently from a digital loop shared with other advertisers.
The campaign period and format
The Port Authority's airports served 5.8 million passengers between Dec. 22, 2025 and Jan. 4, 2026, its busiest year-end holiday period. These periods affect demand and availability, and wraps, sponsorships and activations carry their own production and approval requirements.
Production and installation
Artwork adaptation, printing, installation and removal add to the media rate, and local taxes goes on top. Your quote itemises every line.
