Why Advertise

Chile's flagship airport and gateway to Latin America.

SCL is Chile's flagship airport and the country's primary connection to the rest of the world. For brands targeting affluent, hard-to-reach travelers in Latin America, few environments deliver the combination of scale, dwell time, and audience quality that Santiago airport advertising provides.

Two terminals, Terminal 1 (domestic) and Terminal 2 (international), connected by a free 24/7 shuttle, with premium digital advertising infrastructure across both.

A genuine national gateway. In 2024, SCL handled more than 26 million passengers, ranking among the busiest airports in South America. It carries roughly a quarter of all air traffic in Chile and is the dominant hub for LATAM Airlines, Sky Airline, and JetSMART.
Affluent, decision-maker audience. Santiago is Chile's financial, mining, and corporate capital. SCL concentrates executives, international investors, and high-net-worth travelers: exactly the audience that B2B, financial services, and luxury brands struggle to reach efficiently anywhere else.
Long, captive dwell times. Airport passengers spend an average of 60 to 90 minutes in the terminal between check-in and boarding. Unlike a roadside billboard glimpsed at highway speed, an ad at SCL is viewed at close range by relaxed travelers who are actively looking around.
A modern, recently expanded facility. SCL operates two terminals connected by a free 24/7 shuttle. Terminal 2's four themed piers (Rapa Nui, Atacama, Los Lagos, and Patagonia) and ongoing terminal upgrades have added premium digital advertising infrastructure and higher passenger flows.
Scarcity that drives recall. Airports are curated, security-screened environments with limited commercial inventory. That scarcity gives airport advertising significantly higher unaided recall than saturated digital feeds or highway corridors.
Formats & Placements

Airport advertising formats and inventory at Santiago (SCL).

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport offers a full range of digital and static advertising formats across arrivals, departures, baggage claim, gate areas, connector walkways, and lounges. Choosing the right format depends on your campaign goals, budget, and target terminal.

Digital Airport Advertising at SCL Digital

High-definition LED screens, video walls, and networked digital displays positioned in high-dwell zones such as gate holdrooms, boarding corridors, security queues, and baggage claim. Digital formats support rotating creative, dayparting, and real-time updates.

Best for: brand awareness, product launches, time-sensitive promotions, and programmatic campaigns.

Static and Backlit Displays Static

Backlit dioramas, tension-fabric displays, and large-format static panels along high-traffic corridors and transition zones. Static placements deliver a constant, uninterrupted brand presence at a lower cost per impression over longer flights.

Best for: always-on brand campaigns and cost-efficient long-term presence.

Baggage Claim and Arrivals Media Arrivals

Baggage-claim wraps, carousel branding, and arrivals-hall displays that capture travelers the moment they land. They become a captive audience with nothing to do but wait.

Best for: tourism boards, local services, time-sensitive offers, and arrival-driven calls to action.

Jet Bridge, Walkway, and Column Wraps Immersive

Jet bridge graphics, walkway and floor decals, and column wraps that surround travelers as they move through the terminal.

Best for: terminal-domination effect and immersive brand storytelling.

Executive Lounge and Premium-Zone Placements Premium

Placements in and around airline lounges (including the LATAM Lounge, the largest in Latin America) reach premium and business travelers in a relaxed, receptive setting.

Best for: financial services, luxury goods, and B2B brands targeting high-value travelers.

Experiential, Sampling, and Pop-Up Activations Experiential

Brand activations, sampling stations, and pop-up installations that put your product directly in travelers' hands.

Best for: product launches, sampling-led categories, and high-engagement campaigns.

Terminal Sponsorships and Domination Packages Domination

Charging stations, wayfinding sponsorships, and synced multi-screen networks that bundle multiple formats into a single high-impact buy.

Best for: full-funnel campaigns and maximum share of voice across SCL.

Pricing Data

Santiago (SCL) airport advertising rates and pricing.

One of the biggest gaps in the Santiago airport advertising market is rate transparency. Most vendor pages list a phone number instead of a price. Below are representative ranges to help you benchmark and plan a budget — for a broader benchmark, see how airport ads compare in cost to billboards. All pricing is indicative and subject to live availability, season, and dwell zone.

Format Indicative Rate (per 4-week flight) Notes
Backlit diorama / tension-fabric display USD $2,500 – $6,000 Lower CPM over longer flights
Digital screen (standard gate / corridor) USD $5,000 – $15,000 Rotating creative, dayparting
Digital spectacular (high-traffic / video wall) USD $15,000 – $25,000+ Premium location and visibility
Baggage-claim / arrivals package USD $8,000 – $20,000 Captive arrivals audience
Lounge / large-format wrap USD $15,000 – $40,000 Exclusivity and duration drive price
Terminal domination / synced network USD $50,000+ Multi-format, multi-zone takeover

What drives SCL advertising rates

Terminal and zone. Terminal 2 (international) and high-dwell gate areas command premium rates over transitional corridors.
Format. Digital placements carry higher CPMs but allow creative rotation; static units cost less per impression over long flights.
Campaign duration. Commitments of 8–12+ weeks often unlock volume pricing.
Seasonality. Southern Hemisphere summer (December–February) and holiday peaks see elevated demand and pricing.
Production and installation. Print, build, and installation fees typically add USD $500–$3,000 depending on format.

Impression planning

For impression planning, high-traffic digital units at SCL can generate roughly 500,000 to 1.5 million impressions per month, with CPMs commonly in the USD $8–$25 range depending on format and location.

Who operates advertising at SCL

Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport is operated under concession by Nuevo Pudahuel, a consortium of Groupe ADP, VINCI Airports, and Gestione Concessioni, which holds the airport management contract. In-terminal advertising inventory is sold by authorized media concessionaires under agreements with the airport. AdQuick aggregates available SCL inventory from authorized media owners into one searchable marketplace, so you can compare placements and pricing on a single screen before committing.

Compliance

Airport advertising regulations and approvals in Chile.

All advertising at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport is subject to airport and concessionaire content guidelines. Building approval time into your schedule prevents costly delays.

Who approves creative

Creative is reviewed by the authorized media concessionaire and, where required, the airport concession holder (Nuevo Pudahuel) before installation.

Typical approval lead time

Allow 5–10 business days for creative review on top of production and installation time.

Content standards

Creative must comply with Chilean advertising law and airport standards. Restricted or prohibited categories typically include tobacco, certain alcohol and gambling placements, political content, and anything misleading, offensive, or in conflict with airport sponsors.

Language considerations

Spanish-language or bilingual creative is recommended for arrivals and domestic-terminal placements to maximize relevance with local travelers.

Documentation

Final creative must be supplied to spec, with a signed contract and any required brand or regulatory clearances in place before installation.

Compliance built into the plan

AdQuick flags the relevant requirements for each booked SCL unit as part of the campaign workflow, so compliance is built into the plan rather than discovered late.
