JCDecaux S.A. (Euronext Paris: DEC), the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide, announces that, following a competitive tender, JCDecaux Airport, its airport advertising subsidiary, has renewed its advertising concession with Toulouse-Blagnac Airport for ten years.
 
As part of the contract with Toulouse-Blagnac Airport effective 1 April 2018, JCDecaux will contribute to modernising the airport's spaces with a premium communication platform:

• digitisation of all indoor advertising networks with 46 LCD screens,
• decluttering of the airport halls,
• introduction of high-value-added digital solutions in the airport (two 9m² "Digital Inspirations" screens, one Digital screen with 9 panels and a digital entryway equipped with two 98-inch Ultra-HD screens),
• installation of six outdoor Ultra-HD displays.

 In line with the airport's 2018 redevelopment, JCDecaux proposes a renewed range of displays, some of which is specially designed for the airport to ensure harmonious integration with the architecture of the new passenger areas.
 
With eight million passengers in 2016, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport is France's fifth-busiest. Its steady growth since 2008 accelerated in 2017 with a 16.8% increase in traffic over the first eight months of the year. Serving both domestic and international destinations (60% and 40% of flights, respectively, in 2016), the airport offers a premium audience that can be reached by advertisers through innovative indoor and outdoor media solutions installed by JCDecaux.
 
Jean-Michel Vernhes, Chairman of the Executive Board of Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, said: “The innovation delivered by JCDecaux and the quality of its displays will enable us to reach a new stage in the experience we strive to offer to each passenger. This upgrade is in line with the efforts launched this year to expand and modernise the existing infrastructure.” 
 
Bruno Balerdi, Director for the development of non-aviation revenue at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, said: “This partnership with JCDecaux involves an ambitious and pioneering project that will contribute to the airport's digitisation and declutter the existing displays.”
