In-flight advertising services are aimed at potential consumers on an airplane. This includes advertising services in in-flight entertainment, in-flight magazines or boarding passes, on seatback shelves & overhead bins, and commercials to ease sales pitch for flight attendants. Ads can be tailor-made for travelers or multiple airline destinations, and for promoting local restaurants, hotels, businesses, and shops.


Prolonged exposure during air travel is one of the biggest advantages of advertising on air transport. The average journey takes hours, and passengers have nothing else to do. They spend a lot of their idle time watching viral ads, thereby providing undivided attention to the advertisement. In-flight advertising services are predicted to gain momentum during the forecast period owing to significant growth in global passenger aircraft and air traffic and growing demand for attractive and targeted in-flight advertising services & solutions in the aviation industry.


COVID-19 IMPACT


COVID-19 Pandemic Created Avenues for Using Innovative Modes of Advertising in Flight


The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed the way in-flight advertising services were provided. Due to the imposition of lockdowns across the globe, air travel and related operations were completely stopped, leading to a drastic decline in the aviation industry. However, as the aviation sector reopened, the passenger traffic increased, leading to an overall increase in air travel. This scenario also created numerous opportunities for offering in-flight advertising services. Regardless of the trends, which ranged from climate change and sustainability to safety and cleanliness measures adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines were busy creating marketing strategies and advertising services to promote their business and also include information and graphics to educate about their significant presence.



  • For instance, in May 2022, United Airlines, a U.S.-based global airline, unveiled an ad campaign showcasing instances of goodwill it earned during the COVID-19 pandemic.


In-flight Advertising Services Market Trends


Implementation of Digital In-flight Advertising Mediums to Boost Market Growth


There has been a notable surge in the use of digital in-flight advertising mediums in recent years. Advertisements are being shown on in-flight entertainment devices, such as monitors and tablets that are linked to e-commerce or social media profiles to direct customers to the purchase or information generation window. In many cases, companies also provide entertainment in the form of advertising to pique the interest of the passenger. Additionally, even in conventional advertising, advertisers have added a QR code that redirects customers to the company’s infographics page or in-flight apps. This directly benefits the advertiser due to a direct sale through media advertising and indirectly through piquing the interest and spreading awareness about the brand to stand out from the competitors. Furthermore, digital in-flight advertising supports eco-friendly and sustainable advertising, thereby increasing the overall value of the advertisement. Therefore, this type of advertising is highly preferred by major advertisers. For instance,



  • In September 2023, Spafax, the world leader in in-flight entertainment, introduced Spafax AdConnect at the APEX Expo 2023. The all-new centralized marketplace allows advertising agencies to browse and purchase digital reports of ad inventory directly from airlines.

In-flight Advertising Services Market Growth Factors


Growing Product Application in Creating Customized and Targeted Ads to Boost Market Growth


The adoption of dynamic in-flight advertising solutions that can be updated in real-time based on flight location, destination, and passenger demographics, such as target ads is increasing. This has been a major factor driving the in-flight advertising services market growth. Airlines are partnering with ride-sharing companies, hotels, and popular travel destinations to provide integrated travel experiences and cross-promotional opportunities. Increased focus on sustainable and eco-friendly in-flight advertising solutions, such as paperless options and use of recyclable materials, can help advertisers target a new-age audience and increase their brand value. In-flight advertising services receiving increased attention in the airline industry due to the need to offer targeted marketing solutions to high-net-worth individuals and corporate & business travelers.


Increasing Demand for Inflight Entertainment and Enhanced Connectivity to Bolster Market Growth


The growth in demand for in-flight entertainment has also sparked the need for advertising.  Digital and conventional advertising in flights require an effective medium to catch the passenger’s attention during the journey. Rise in the demand for digital in-flight entertainment services has increased the supply of devices, such as tablets, monitors, and screens. Since entertainment is accessible to the passenger for the entire duration of the flight, marketers spend a lot of money to ensure as many conversions as possible through their advertisement.  Additionally, increased connectivity in the flight has led to a subtle rise in the demand for advertising. Due to better connectivity, passengers can make a direct purchase, booking, or search, leading to higher brand awareness.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Limited Advertising Space In Flights to Limit Market Growth


Despite an astonishing growth in in-flight advertising services globally, limited advertising space in the aircraft is a restraining factor since only the brands that have a big budget to advertise can promote their products in the aircraft. Limited-space mediums, such as magazines, seat covers, trays, and in-flight entertainment devices restrict the space and increase the costs for advertising. Additionally, growing competition among similar brands will restrain the demand for in-flight advertising services in the long term.
