Location insights
Memphis International set a record with 4.9 million origin and destination passengers in 2024, and every passenger airline flies from the modernized Concourse B, a $245 million rebuild opened in 2022 with 23 gates, higher ceilings and a live-music stage in the rotunda. Delta, American, Southwest and United drive the banks, Elvis Week and Beale Street Music Festival stack the visitor waves, and across the field the FedEx superhub makes MEM the busiest cargo airport in the Western Hemisphere, nearly 400 flights a day. The airport authority sells the ad displays itself. Buy the Monday business banks and the Elvis Week surge.
Ticketing 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.
Baggage 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
Memphis 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 | Ticketing + Garage / Curb | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | Ticketing, Gates | Weekday 6–10 AM · 4–8 PM |
| Long-dwell layovers | Gates, Baggage | 10 AM–8 PM |
| International arrivals | Baggage, Retail | Aligned to long-haul landing banks |
| Duty-free & retail | Ticketing, Gates | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Memphis 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: business travelers moving through Ticketing and Gates on weekday commuter banks, where American Airlines is now MEM's leading carrier by seat capacity, and logistics and supply chain decision-makers passing through on trips tied to FedEx's Memphis hub, where the carrier moves more than 95% of the airport's air cargo tonnage and MEM ranks as the world's third-largest cargo airport by tonnage (see DOOH for B2B).

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, MSCAA Properties Division media, MATA transit media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Memphis International Airport handled 4.9 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. As of 2018, Memphis was the second-busiest cargo airport in the world, driven by the FedEx hub. FedEx Express 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.
Memphis International Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Ticketing lobbies guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Concourse B holdrooms & rotunda 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. Baggage claim & arrivals catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Concessions & retail row reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight. The terminal layout shapes all of this: Memphis International has a single terminal with a Y-shaped concourse layout and 23 gates on the central and southeastern legs.
Yes. On Blindspot every Memphis 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 MSCAA Properties Division media, MATA transit media; 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 Memphis International Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Concourse B holdrooms & rotunda, or a concentrated burst on Ticketing lobbies and Security checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.42, 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.
