Indira Gandhi International · DEL · 9th busiest on earth · June 2026
Delhi Airport moved 78.7 million passengers in 2026 through three terminals. Air India and Alliance Air hub here, which concentrates the flight banks. Delhi Airport Metro Express reaches the terminal directly. It is the busiest airport in India. Blindspot books its screens by the hour, priced per play.
Delhi Airport advertising spans from a few cents per play on concourse and gate screens to premium arrivals-hall LED and spectacular digital walls. On Blindspot, Delhi Airport screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.45, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Delhi Airport play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the departures bank in the morning, the security and concourse dwell through the day, the arrivals halls when the long-haul flights land.

Location insights
Delhi is the gateway every Indian itinerary routes through, and the airport just crossed into the global top ten. T3, once Asia's largest passenger terminal, funnels long-haul international travelers past the famous gilded Surya Namaskar mudra hands, while the rebuilt T1 is now India's highest-footfall domestic terminal. The rhythm is bank-driven: morning departures out of T1 and T3, all-day layover dwell on the concourses, and long-haul arrivals pouring into the T3 immigration corridors. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
T3 Intl Dep 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.
T3 Baggage and the gate holdrooms hold seated, relaxed travelers for 60–90 minutes, long windows where dwell, not rush, does the work.
T1 Domestic 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
Delhi 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.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch / premium | T3 Intl Dep + Forecourt | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | T3 Intl Dep, T3 Baggage | Weekday 6–10 AM · 4–8 PM |
| Long-dwell layovers | T3 Baggage, T1 Domestic | 10 AM–8 PM |
| International arrivals | T1 Domestic, Lounges / retail | Aligned to long-haul landing banks |
| Duty-free & retail | T3 Intl Dep, T3 Baggage | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Delhi Airport’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Security-line passengers read in seconds; gate-side travelers dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: international long-haul travelers funneled through T3 Intl Dep, the single terminal that handles every international flight at Delhi Airport, India's busiest by passenger volume with 79.2 million travelers in FY2024-25 (see DOOH for B2B), and corporate business travelers moving through T1 Domestic and the Forecourt on their way to Gurugram, the NCR corporate belt roughly 20 minutes away that hosts more than 250 Fortune 500 offices.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Delhi Airport (DEL) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on spectaculars & forecourt than on concourse & gate screens), the zone (T3 International Departures concourse carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Concourse test
An hourly burst across one T3 concourse through the morning departures bank. Ideal for launches and travel-intent campaigns.
Multi-zone airport push
T3 departures, the arrivals halls and T1 across peak banks, the workhorse plan for national and B2B brands.
DEL flagship takeover
The T3 international halls plus the Surya Namaskar spectaculars and forecourt, a full takeover of India's gateway.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, JCDecaux India, Times OOH among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Delhi Airport handled 78.7 million passengers in 2026. The audience is the reason to buy it: air passengers are captive, comparatively affluent, and hard to reach through most channels, and they spend meaningful time in the terminal with attention to spare between check-in and boarding. Dwell is the asset. Unlike a roadside screen read in two seconds, a gate or arrivals placement gets minutes rather than moments, which is why airport placements hold up for brand and considered-purchase messages rather than short reminders. The busiest airport in India by passenger traffic since 2009, and the ninth busiest airport in the world as of 2025. Air India and Alliance Air both hub here, which concentrates connecting traffic through the same core. It is served by Delhi Airport Metro Express, so the same audience continues landside.
Delhi Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. T3 International Departures concourse guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. T3 International Arrivals & immigration holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. T3 Baggage reclaim halls gives the longest relaxed attention, with passengers seated and waiting. Each zone shows its own per-play price and live availability, so you can pair a high-reach zone with a high-dwell one rather than guessing at a single best spot. T1 Domestic Departures catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Premium lounges & duty-free spine reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight.
Yes. On Blindspot every Delhi Airport screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum, so you can buy only the morning departures bank or the long-haul arrivals windows that match your audience.
The airport's media is run by operators such as JCDecaux India, Times OOH; Blindspot aggregates the bookable digital screens onto one map, priced per play.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than the usual airport rate card suggests, because you are buying plays rather than a fixed package. In Delhi Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as T3 Baggage reclaim halls, or a concentrated burst on T3 International Departures concourse and T3 International Arrivals & immigration through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.45, the arithmetic is visible before you commit. It will not buy a month of an arrivals-hall spectacular, and that is the trade: hourly, per-play buying lets a small budget own the specific windows when the passengers you want are actually in the terminal, instead of thinning the same money across empty overnight hours.
