Project outcome

Advertising in the three airports is currently cluttered, with an oversupply of sites and different formats. A range of standard advertising types has been planned across the three airports that will greatly enhance the passenger experience and allow Adani’s in-house advertising business to maximise sales and support for retail and other commercial streams. As in many other leading markets, digital sites are rapidly gaining traction and the advertising programmes include digital networks in key locations. The programmes will look outstanding and the standard formats will not only declutter the terminals and maximise sales, but will also drive highly cost effective capital investment for Adani.
