19 AirportImprovement.com November | December 2026 INFO TECHNOLOGY BUR planning the system, you put the right screens in the right places and get more out of the same budget. BUR did exactly that, and they did it all in one system that can keep growing long after opening day. Passengers are going to walk in, look up, and be amazed by what BUR has created.” Under a separate eight-year agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor’s Airport Division is implementing a digital advertising and sponsorship program designed to elevate the airport’s media environment. This “immersive, Hollywood-inspired experience” includes a digitally driven media network featuring themed design elements like gold-trimmed screen frames integrated into terminal architecture and strategically placed high-resolution screens capable of 3D anamorphic content and ultra-high-definition visuals. Sense of place and regional identity will be created through local imagery. “Our vision is to turn Hollywood Burbank Airport into an iconic and immersive media showcase that celebrates the creative spirit of Los Angeles,” says Morten Gotterup, president of Clear Channel Outdoor’s Airport Division. “We’re combining design, technology and storytelling to deliver premium opportunities for both national and local advertisers to reach travelers in meaningful, memorable ways.” The partnership also allows advertisers to deliver brand consistency outside of the airport, with Clear Channel’s roadside digital and printed billboards throughout the Los Angeles metro area. Each of the 14 holdrooms will have Internet Protocol TV, yet another marketing avenue for the airport. Working with Clear Channel, Kimball says the airport intends to display relevant airport information for waiting passengers. Kimball notes that the airport is actively working on its content strategy to define exactly the kind of messaging it will present to passengers. “It could be whatever we want, but we want to make sure it’s appealing and enjoyable,” he adds. Advertising screens are separate from airport-controlled content and flight-information displays. “That will be an ongoing collaboration with Clear Channel and our marketing team.” Another way BUR is expanding its digital touchpoints across the passenger journey is through Boingo Media, an advertising platform from Boingo Wireless that reaches travelers as they connect to airport Wi-Fi.
