Stuttgart · STR · the Swabian capital gateway · June 2026
Stuttgart Airport handled 9.6 million passengers in 2025 across four terminals. No airline hubs here, so traffic is close to pure origin and destination: passengers are arriving or leaving, not connecting through. Berlin Brandenburg is its busiest route. Blindspot books its screens by the hour, priced per play.
Stuttgart 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, Stuttgart Airport screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.46, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Stuttgart 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.
Billboard ranking points
Directional 1–10 scores based on zone type and passenger flow, not audited measurements. Every zone is bookable by the hour on the platform.
The connected check-in halls across the four terminals catch every departing passenger at the counters, the first and longest dwell of the trip.
The security lanes hold departing travelers in slow, phone-down queues with clear overhead sightlines.
The shared airside gate holdrooms seat boarding passengers 30 to 60 minutes before their flight.
The reclaim hall holds arriving business and leisure travelers at the carousels, a captive, recently landed audience.
The S-Bahn station beneath the terminal and the curbside channel departing arrivals toward the Hauptbahnhof and Stuttgart.

Formats
From a single gate screen to a full arrivals-hall takeover, Blindspot puts Stuttgart Airport's digital out-of-home on one map, each screen priced per play and bookable by the hour. The formats that matter airside and landside:
Large-format digital across check-in islands and departures, where every traveler dwells before security.
Captive screens along the security and passport queues, minutes of guaranteed attention per passenger.
Concourse and gate-lounge screens reaching seated, relaxed travelers with long airside dwell.
High-dwell arrivals and baggage-claim placements as passengers wait, the airport's longest captive window.
Boarding-bridge and gate-side panels in the final moment before the flight.
Iconic hall and atrium spectaculars for brand-statement reach across the whole terminal.
Location insights
Stuttgart runs on Eurowings, its dominant base, with Lufthansa feeding Star Alliance through Terminal 2 and strong Turkish and KLM connections. Early-morning and evening banks fan out to European city pairs and the German hubs, while summer lifts Mediterranean leisure. As the capital of a car-making region, weekday business travel from Mercedes, Porsche and Bosch keeps demand steady. The S-Bahn from the station under the terminal reaches the Hauptbahnhof in under half an hour, near Schlossplatz and the TV tower. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
Check-in 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.
Reclaim 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
Stuttgart 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 | Check-in + S-Bahn | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | Check-in, Gates | Weekday 6–10 AM · 4–8 PM |
| Long-dwell layovers | Gates, Reclaim | 10 AM–8 PM |
| International arrivals | Reclaim, Retail | Aligned to long-haul landing banks |
| Duty-free & retail | Check-in, Gates | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Stuttgart 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: automotive and manufacturing business travelers moving through Check-in and Gates, tied to the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche home region and Bosch's engineering base in Baden-Württemberg (see DOOH for B2B), and freight forwarders and logistics buyers whose shipments of automotive parts, pharmaceuticals and electronics move through the airport's cargo operation, which handled roughly 34,200 tonnes in 2024 alongside 9.1 million passengers.

Pricing · updated June 2026
Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.
| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check-in hall pillars & LED | from ~$0.46 per play | $100 buys hourly check-in-hall slots | every departing traveler through the terminals |
| Gate concourse & holdroom screens | from ~$0.46 per play | $100 buys hourly holdroom slots | seated traveler attention before boarding |
| City transit | from ~$0.44 per play | $100 buys repeat exposure on the S-Bahn link | arrivals and visitors riding into Stuttgart |
| Baggage reclaim & arrivals | from ~$0.44 per play | $100 buys belt-side reclaim time | a captive, recently landed audience |
| Digital Sky Boards spectacular | custom | flagship post-security takeover | dominant share of voice over the airside core |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Stuttgart Airport (STR) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on digital Sky Boards spectacular than on check-in hall pillars & LED), the zone (Terminal 1-4 check-in 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.

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, so you're leasing airtime on airport-authorized screens, not erecting a new structure.
Stuttgart Airport handled 9.6 million passengers in 2025. 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. Stuttgart Airport handled 9,585,033 passengers in 2025 (up 4.7%), ranking as the sixth-busiest airport in Germany. It is served by S-Bahn, so the same audience continues landside. 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.
Stuttgart Airport zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Terminal 1-4 check-in guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Airside concourse & gates 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 reclaim & arrivals catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Post-security retail & dining reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight.
Yes. On Blindspot every Stuttgart 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 its official terminal advertising partner; 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 Stuttgart Airport a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Airside concourse & gates, or a concentrated burst on Terminal 1-4 check-in and Security checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.46, 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.
