Even More Ads Coming to Airports

September 25, 2007 at 12:00 PM | by | Comment (1)

A UK ad agency is hoping to make your flight a bit more lucrative--at least for its clients. Hoping to replicate Target's success in placing ads on top of buildings near airports, the company, Ad-Air, plans to place giant billboards near runways around the world. Understandably, the managing director is pretty excited about the idea:

What an incredible marketing opportunity--all these passengers with nothing else to do, staring down at the ground below.

Plans for ads near Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle, Hartsfield-Jackson, LAX and Dubai International are underway, though the company won't say who will be advertising. We're trying to decide what would irritate us more: seeing an ad from your plane window or in the security line.
