BANGOR, Maine–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AcadiaNationalPark—Clear
Channel Airports (CCA), a brand division of Clear
Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) (NYSE: CCO), and a subsidiary of
iHeartMedia Inc., today announced Bangor International Airport (BGR) has

terminal-wide state of the art advertising solutions.

BGR is a full service domestic and international airport located in
Bangor, Maine. The airport provides easy access to Maine’s premiere
destinations such as Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake,
Katahdin, Baxter State Park, mid-coast and northern Maine. In 2016, BGR
hit a new record with over 492,000 annual passengers equaling a three
percent increase over 2015 traffic. The airport is served by Allegiant,
American, Delta and seasonally United. Year-round routes currently
include LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Sanford/Orlando and
St. Petersburg/Tampa. Additional seasonal service includes Newark,
Chicago and Charlotte. It is also the leading airport for trans-Atlantic
tech stops. BGR is an enterprise-funded entity operated by the City of
Bangor and is supported solely through airport generated revenue.

Clear Channel Airports’ new advertising program at BGR presents unique
advertising solutions for regional businesses to connect with visitors
and grow regional commerce. The new advertising elements include:

• New 82” LCD located at baggage claim;
• Newly built show cases and product cases;
• Tension Fabric Displays will be added to all free charging stations
  located in gate hold areas and to the charging stations in the
  pre-security areas;

• A themed Tension Fabric Display will be added by the ticket counters.

Airport Director, Tony Caruso commented, “We have worked with Clear
Channel Airports for a number of years and are pleased to renew the
contract for another five years. We look forward to the new, updated
installations providing our passengers with state-of-the-art advertising
information and regional businesses with new advertising opportunities.”

BGR also has a strong tie to supporting the military with a group called
‘The
Maine Troop Greeter of Bangor: a non-profit group of veterans and
men and women supporting armed forces serving overseas by greeting
troops who arrive at BGR. Since the beginning of greeting flights in May
of 2003, the Maine Troop Greeters have greeted over 7,417 flights with
more than 1,499,277 service members and 403 military dogs.

“Bangor International Airport is one of the fastest growing regional
airports in the country and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with
them to integrate a new, leading-edge advertising network fit for their
passenger base,” said Morten Gotterup, President, Clear Channel
Airports. “Our new program will enable top regional and national brands
to take story-telling to a whole new level for travelers and give them
the tools they need to truly impact the passenger-experience while
traveling through Bangor.”

Additionally, a Nielsen
study released in 2016 shows that nearly 60 percent of business and
leisure travelers believe that advertising in airports is an indicator
of high-quality brands and products, and more than three-quarters of
leisure and business travelers say they notice airport digital ads, with
over one-third of travelers surveyed confirming they’ve visited a
website or used an app to find out more about a product or service they
saw advertised inside an airport.
