Location insights
Chengdu is China's third-largest aviation city after Shanghai and Beijing, and Tianfu is its newer, larger gateway, opened in 2021. The two terminals mirror each other in the shape of the Jinsha Sun Bird, the golden emblem of the city: T1 runs international and regional, T2 runs domestic and holds the central commercial area where JCDecaux concentrates its creative LED. Between the terminals sits the Ground Transportation Centre, a single hub stacking metro, high-speed rail, bus and taxi, so the whole airport funnels through one point. The rhythm is morning domestic banks, midday international waves, and heavy all-day transit dwell. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
T2 Central and check-in fill in the early-morning and late-afternoon banks. Book those hours and your frequency against business travelers climbs for the same budget.
T1 Intl Dep and the gate holdrooms hold seated, relaxed travelers for 60–90 minutes, long windows where dwell, not rush, does the work.
Arrivals fills as long-haul flights land in banks, high-value international passengers with time to read. Swap creative to match who just arrived.
Location intelligence summary
Chengdu Tianfu Airport doesn't have a rush hour; it has flight banks. Departures peak in the morning, long-haul arrivals land in waves, and between them travelers dwell for 60–90 minutes with phones often stowed. The buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the banks when your audience is captive, skip the dead hours.
