Airport-Out-Of-Home (AOOH) is a new chapter in the world of advertising comprising of any visual advertising media found around airports, inside airports and in-flight. According to recent studies, almost 20 million passengers travel through Mumbai International Airport annually, 60% of which notice OOH advertisements placed around and within the airport, thus making it a highly-effective engagement spot for brands to market their products.

We hope that this partnership will bring AOOH into greater limelight and benefit media owners through various signage advertising tools exhibited at the fair.”
