PATTISON Outdoor Advertising, Canada's largest Out-of-Home advertising provider and a leader in Airport advertising, today announced that it has been awarded the advertising program contract for Victoria International Airport (YYJ). Welcoming more than 1.7 million passengers in 2015, Victoria International Airport is the second largest airport in British Columbia and a burgeoning hub for both domestic and international travellers. The new agreement adds to PATTISON's growing portfolio of airports in Canada which in total reach more than 35 million passengers annually.

Taking effect March 1, 2016, the multi-year agreement will provide advertisers the opportunity to explore the unique mindset of the air traveller with flexible, high-impact products, including digital, static and specialty advertising displays. Products include: Airposters; Horizontal Banners; Backlit Spectaculars; Digital Spectacular Displays; Gateway TV; Vinyl Wraps; Auto/Product Displays; Hotel Directory; and Jet Bridge Domination (interior and exterior).
