Location insights
Hazrat Shahjalal International is Bangladesh's busiest gateway, run by the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh about 18 km north of central Dhaka. Two passenger terminals run today, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 handling international and domestic flights, while the new Terminal 3 nears full opening to roughly triple capacity toward 24 million a year, with Biman Bangladesh and the heavy Gulf labour-migration corridor anchoring the banks. Mornings push the Gulf and Southeast Asia departure banks, midday holds connecting dwell, evenings fill arrivals and the MRT Line 6 metro and taxi stands toward the city. A migration, remittance and rising-consumer audience. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
Departures 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.
Gates 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
Hazrat Shahjalal International 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 | Departures + Transit | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | Departures, Gates | Weekday 6–10 AM · 4–8 PM |
| Long-dwell layovers | Gates, Arrivals | 10 AM–8 PM |
| International arrivals | Arrivals, Retail | Aligned to long-haul landing banks |
| Duty-free & retail | Departures, Gates | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Hazrat Shahjalal International 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: garment and textile exporters moving through Departures and Transit for sourcing trips and buyer meetings, since Bangladesh is the world's second largest ready-made garment exporter after China (see B2B DOOH), and Biman Bangladesh Airlines travelers routed through Gates and Arrivals, since Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is the carrier's main hub.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on departures-hall spectacular than on departures hall pillars & LED), the zone (Departures hall 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
One terminal's gate holdrooms across a morning Gulf departure bank
Multi-zone airport push
Departures hall, security lanes, the international and domestic gate holdrooms and the arrivals corridor together
DAC flagship takeover
Dominant share of voice across the departures core and the terminals
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, JCDecaux, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh media program, Markedium (airport media network) among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport handled 12.5 million passengers in 2024. 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. Air Astra and Biman Bangladesh Airlines both hub here, which concentrates connecting traffic through the same core. Because the screens are bookable by the hour, you can match spend to the flight banks that carry your audience instead of paying for a flat month.
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Departures hall guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security & checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Concourse & gate holdrooms 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. Arrivals & baggage reclaim catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Lounges & duty-free reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight. The terminal layout shapes all of this: Three terminal buildings: Terminal 1 for international arrivals, Terminal 2 for international departures, and a separate Domestic Terminal for domestic flights, with a new Terminal 3 under construction.
Yes. On Blindspot every Hazrat Shahjalal International 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, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh media program, Markedium (airport media network); 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 Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Concourse & gate holdrooms, or a concentrated burst on Departures hall and Security & checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.40, 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.
