Location insights
Makedonia is the gateway to northern Greece and the second city of the country, rebuilt under Fraport Greece since 2017: a new Terminal 2 opened in 2021, the original hall was reconstructed and joined to it, and a runway extension pushed out into the Thermaic Gulf. Aegean Airlines and Ryanair anchor a schedule that mixes Athens shuttle traffic, European city links and a hard summer leisure peak bound for Halkidiki's beaches. Domestic banks run through the week; summer swells the international halls. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
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.
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
Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia 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 + Bus / Curb | All day · long-haul banks |
| Business travelers | Ticketing, 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 | Ticketing, Gates | Departures peaks |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia’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: Halkidiki-bound beach tourists, who fill Arrivals and Retail during the airport's May to September charter season, since Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia is the main gateway to the Kassandra and Sithonia peninsulas, and German and other European leisure travelers moving through Ticketing and Gates, since Germany was the airport's top international market with 1.73 million passengers in 2025, ahead of the UK and Cyprus.

| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check-in hall pillars & LED | from ~$0.44 per play | $100 buys hourly check-in slots | every departing traveler through the rebuilt halls |
| Gate & holdroom screens | from ~$0.44 per play | $100 buys hourly holdroom slots | seated business and beach-bound leisure attention |

| Check-in-hall spectacular | custom | flagship check-in-hall takeover | dominant share of voice over the Makedonia gateway |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia (SKG) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on check-in-hall spectacular than on check-in hall pillars & LED), the zone (Check-in & 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.

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Interbus airport media, Fraport Greece media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia handled 8.0 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. The airport handled 7,982,798 passengers in 2025, an 8.2% increase year over year, and is the third-largest airport in Greece after Athens and Heraklion. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air both hub here, which concentrates connecting traffic through the same core.
Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Check-in & departures hall guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. Terminal 2 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 hall & baggage reclaim catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Duty-free & retail reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight.
Yes. On Blindspot every Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia 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 Interbus airport media, Fraport Greece 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 Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as Terminal 2 gate holdrooms, or a concentrated burst on Check-in & departures hall and Security checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.44, 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.
