Big screens to go up inside Chattanooga Airport for ads, messages
Chattanooga Airport officials have agreed to place two huge LED video screens inside the passenger terminal's rotunda for advertising and messaging at a cost of $283,000.
The screens, each 18 feet high and 13 feet wide, will sit on opposite sides of the main traveler entrance and exit, offering prominent viewing from people coming off flights and leaving the concourse, officials said this week at an Airport Authority meeting.
"I think it will have a real dramatic effect," said Jim Hall, the panel’s chairman. "I think it's really going to be a statement when people get off the aircraft and see those two large screens."
The airport is paying for the screens, which are expected to be installed by mid- to late summer.
April Cameron, the airport's vice president of finance and administration, said the state-of-the-art displays will have the capability to show video and static images.
"Our intent is for digital advertising," she said at the meeting. "But we can put up messages and things like that."
