Airports host 15 Trillboards screens with 3,540 daily impressions and $7.41 average CPM — the highest single-category CPM on the network.
Airport DOOH commands the highest CPM on the Trillboards network ($7.41 USD average) because the audience is exceptional: travelers in extended dwell with high discretionary spend during their trips. Buyers in travel (hotels, car rental, ride-share), premium consumer technology, dining, and financial services see exceptional measured lift here.
Airport operators contract with Trillboards to host screens at gate, concourse, and lounge positions. The hardware ships pre-configured for airport-environment regulations (TSA-area policies, advertising-content restrictions per terminal) and serves a default mix optimized for premium-CPM travel demand.
Airport DOOH is the most premium category on the Trillboards network in both CPM ($7.41 USD average) and daily impression density (3,540 per screen). The audience is uniquely valuable: travelers in 30–120 minute dwell windows with above-average household income, who are actively making travel-adjacent decisions (where to eat, what to buy, what to book next). The 15 active screens span 3 countries and 2 US cities; demand is dominated by travel (hotels, car rental, ride-share, airlines), financial services (credit cards, currency exchange, business travel cards), premium consumer technology, and dining.

Five US cities with the highest concentration of airports on the Trillboards programmatic DOOH network (aggregate count — no per-screen identifiers exposed).
Each screen at airports runs the Trillboards kiosk app, which holds an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to the Trillboards SSP. Roughly every 60 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor (venue category, geographic bucket, screen format) plus any locally observed audience signals from the on-device CV pipeline — group composition, audience archetype, and attention level — all aggregated and stripped of per-person identifiers before they leave the screen.
Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms; the winning creative ships back, plays inside the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback via a signed proof-of-play receipt. Trillboards reconciles those receipts daily against partner-reported numbers (the canonical record of truth for billable impressions) and credits the venue's earner balance monthly. The airports category on the Trillboards network averages $7.41 USD floor CPM and 3,540 daily impressions per screen, numbers that translate directly into the earnings model below.
The Trillboards platform supports both first-party and third-party VAST creatives, OMID-compliant viewability measurement where the creative declares OMID support, and full proof-of-play receipts signed at the device level — meeting the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers using the Trillboards OpenRTB endpoint can target airports specifically via the IAB Audience Taxonomy plus the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace without ever receiving per-screen identifiers in the bid request.

The 15 active screens, 3 countries, 2 US cities, $7.41 average floor CPM, and 3,540 daily impressions per screen shown here are aggregated from the Trillboards PostgreSQL system of record (table earner_screens filtered by status = 'approved'), joined to the venue taxonomy. Counts reflect the network state at the snapshot date and are rebuilt monthly. Floor CPM numbers are the screen-level minimums; cleared CPMs typically run 20–40% higher depending on demand. Per Trillboards aggregate-only data disclosure policy, no per-screen identifiers, partner identifiers, or device identifiers are published on this page — only the counts and category-level statistics needed for buyer and earner decisions.
