Short answer: cost How much does airport advertising cost for a small business?
A small business can be in an airport for about $2,500 to $12,000 per small-format sign or diorama for four weeks at a medium to large airport, or from about $5,000 for a spot in a digital network at a smaller airport, media only. The smallest campaign that gets noticed is about $10,000 for a set of faces or a network spot at a smaller airport, and $25,000 for real share of voice at a medium airport.

The detail
The short version,
then the full page.
Smaller airports such as San Antonio run 25 to 40% less than medium and large airports, so a small budget goes further there. Spend it at one airport rather than spreading it; one visible presence is a campaign, three invisible units are not.
| Budget | What it buys for four weeks |
|---|---|
| Under $10,000 | A set of small-format faces, or one network spot at a smaller airport |
| $5,000–$25,000 | A network spot with share of voice at a medium airport, or a banner set |
| $25,000–$50,000 | One airport done properly: a network plus a static unit |

What does EAM Advertising handle on an airport campaign?
Everything after the objective. We check what's open for the week, which loops are crowded and which units will sell out, and where on the arrival path your audience actually walks. We recommend the mix, secure the units, traffic the creative through airport approval, confirm posting on day one, and deliver proof of posting and play logs after. If the airport is one market in a larger plan, the same relationship covers the others.
