Interested members are kindly requested to revert to Ms Bindoo Srivastava (bindoo@tsdsi.in) /Mr Kuljit Singh (kuljit@tsdsi.in) , latest by 19th January 2026. This will enable us to execute the advertisement campaign within the timelines prescribed by the airport authorities.

NOTE on Airport Media Advertisement – Branding Benefits & Visibility:

Airport media advertising delivers high visibility, premium brand association, and strong recall by targeting a focused, affluent audience in a distraction-free environment.
It is ideal for brands aiming to build trust, global presence, and long-term brand value.
Airport digital screens, billboards, lounges, baggage areas, jet bridges, etc. are a powerful branding channel because it reaches a premium, attentive audience in a high-impact environment.
Long Dwell Time: Passengers spend hours waiting (check-in, security, boarding, baggage claim); translating into more time, better recall and message retention benefits.

An overview of Airport Media available for brand promotion can be seen here.
