The airport's compact footprint concentrates foot traffic into high-density zones with extended dwell times at gates, baggage claim, and security checkpoints.

Conferences in biotech, fintech, and SaaS drive seasonal surges of exactly the audience most brands want to reach.

FORMATS & PLACEMENTS

Boston Logan Airport Advertising Formats

All advertising at Boston Logan is managed under a concession held by JCDecaux, the world's largest out-of-home media company. JCDecaux operates a comprehensive inventory of digital and static placements across every terminal and key passenger touchpoint. AdQuick provides access to this full inventory through a single platform, with real-time availability and pricing.

Digital SpectacularsDigital

Large-format, high-definition video walls positioned in the highest-traffic corridors and terminal concourses. Digital spectaculars at BOS are the flagship format — ideal for brand launches, event-driven campaigns, and high-impact storytelling. Many units combine a static banner surround with a central digital screen for persistent brand presence plus dynamic creative flexibility.

Prestige Digital Network (PDN)Digital

A network of premium digital screens distributed throughout all four terminals, covering departure gates, concourse walkways, and connector corridors. PDN placements let advertisers run targeted content across the entire airport or select specific terminal zones. This format is popular for healthcare, tech, and financial brands targeting BOS conference attendees.

Static Banners and SignageStatic

Large-format printed banners in terminal concourses, arrival corridors, and high-visibility locations near ticketing and check-in. Static formats deliver constant visibility with no rotation — your ad is the only message travelers see in that placement for the duration of your campaign.

Baggage Claim AdvertisingArrivals

Digital and static placements in all baggage claim areas across Terminals A, B, C, and E. Baggage claim is one of the highest-dwell zones in any airport, with travelers typically waiting 10–20 minutes and directly facing ad placements. This format captures both arriving passengers and the friends, family, and car service drivers meeting them.

Exterior and Transportation AdvertisingFormat

Advertising on the airport exterior, roadway signage, and transportation infrastructure including shuttle buses, parking garages, and the Logan Express routes that connect the airport to suburban park-and-ride lots. Exterior placements extend your campaign's reach beyond the terminal to the 2.5+ million annual Logan Express riders and the tens of thousands of daily vehicles accessing the airport loop.

Wraps and ExhibitsFormat

Full-environment takeovers including column wraps, wall wraps, jet bridge wraps, and sponsored exhibit spaces. Wraps are high-impact branding tools that transform architectural surfaces into immersive brand experiences — especially effective in Terminal E's international arrivals area, where dwell times are longest.

TERMINALS & ZONES

Boston Logan Airport Advertising by Terminal

Each BOS terminal serves a distinct carrier mix and passenger profile. Selecting the right terminal (or combining multiple terminals) is critical to matching your campaign to your target audience.

Terminal A — Delta Air Lines Hub

Terminal A is used almost exclusively by Delta Air Lines, one of BOS's two anchor carriers. It handled approximately 11 million passengers in 2024. The audience skews toward business travelers and premium cabin passengers, especially on Delta's transatlantic routes to London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Dublin.

Terminals B & C — JetBlue Focus City + Major Carriers

Terminals B and C are the busiest at Logan, combining for roughly 13.6 million passengers in 2024. Terminal B serves American Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Southwest, Spirit, and Air Canada. Terminal C is JetBlue's primary hub. This terminal pair delivers the broadest audience mix: business and leisure, domestic and regional, budget and premium. Terminals B, C, and E are connected post-security, extending the reach of concourse advertising across multiple carriers.

Terminal E — International Gateway

Terminal E is Boston Logan's dedicated international terminal, handling 9.7 million passengers in 2024. It serves carriers including British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates, Aer Lingus, TAP Air Portugal, and more. Terminal E is currently undergoing a major expansion (completion expected 2026) with enhanced customs facilities and LEED Gold-certified construction. For brands targeting international business travelers, global tourists, and affluent long-haul passengers, Terminal E offers the highest concentration of premium audiences at BOS.
