Publish Date : 30-May-2012
JCDecaux Dicon, Europe\'s leading out-of-home advertising company, has obtained an exclusive contract for Concourse 3 in Dubai International Airport.
Concourse 3, which is due to be finished at the end of 2012 and scheduled to start operations in Q1 of 2013, will have 11 floors and an annual capacity of 19 million passengers. This will improve the airport\'s total capacity to 75 million passengers each year. Concourse 3 is designed for the exclusive use of Emirates Airline and will be the world\'s first Airbus purpose-built A380 concourse. Concourse 3 will have 33 aircraft access points (20 of which will be jetbridge contact gates), two luxury hotels and 11,000 sqm of retail space.
\"The advertising environment in Concourse 3 is key part of this major project to ensure a stimulating airport environment. It also plays a vital role in boosting non-aeronautical revenues to fund further airport development. JCDecaux Dicon has fully demonstrated its capability at Dubai International to deliver powerful advertising solutions for the world\'s leading brands, and we are pleased to extend our commercial partnership to the new concourse,\" said Eugene Barry, SVP of commercial at Dubai Airports.
\"We are delighted to be selected again by Dubai Airports one and a half years after we were awarded the advertising contract for Dubai World Central. This new contract underlines the success of our existing partnership. We will continue to offer high quality and innovative media solutions and services to the advertising market, hence benefiting the airport and its passengers,\" said Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of board and co-CEO of JCDecaux.
