Digital Signage & Ad Networks
Screens in the FBO and the money behind them: private-terminal ad networks that install screens and share revenue, arrivals boards and flight-tracking displays, and signage platforms FBOs run themselves.
Three different businesses share this category, and the first question with any of them is who pays whom. Private-terminal ad networks put screens in FBO lobbies and sell the audience, private-jet passengers and crews, to luxury and national brands. Private Jet Media (London, with a US division, Private Jet Media Americas) installs screens at no charge and says net campaign revenue goes to the FBO; AdVentures Americas in New York is its authorized reseller and IMM International sells it in Europe. JetSet Media has hosted free screens in US FBO lobbies since 2006 and shares ad revenue with the host. Two programs are tied to a chain: Clear Channel Airports sells advertising across Signature Aviation's 100-plus US terminals (renewed early for five years in December 2024), and JCDecaux Elite launched in 2022 as Atlantic Aviation's exclusive media partner. If your FBO belongs to one of those chains, the lobby is already sold; independents are who the other networks recruit.
The second group is flight displays, which an FBO pays for or gets bundled with software. FlightAware TV puts a live airport map and arrivals-and-departures board on any HDTV and comes with FlightAware's FBO Toolbox (from $110 per airport per month). AirNav Radar's Airport View, built with FBOs and charter companies in mind, is included in its $399.50-a-year Business plan. FlightBridge TV is a staff-facing board of inbound ETAs and service requests for the front desk, hangar or line shack, free on FlightBridge's Essential FBO plan. All three run on screens the FBO already owns.
The third is signage the FBO runs itself. SkySync (Sky Sync Media) is built for FBOs: a customer display with tail-number arrivals, fuel pricing and weather, an employee dashboard, and an ad-supported promotional screen, and it is the only company here that publishes its revenue split (50/50). Mvix is a general signage vendor whose published FBO deployment is Cutter Aviation; its players are a one-time purchase and its CMS is free. Signage companies whose only aviation work is commercial-airport FIDS were not listed. Every fact on this page comes from the company's own site on the date shown on its listing.

Questions about digital signage & ad networks
- Do FBO lobby ad networks cost the FBO anything?
- The networks that publish terms say no. Private Jet Media says it installs screens free and that joining costs the FBO nothing, with net campaign revenue going to the FBO. JetSet Media describes free screens in the lobby with shared revenue. SkySync's Promotional Screen is $0 a month on a TV the FBO already owns. Clear Channel Airports and JCDecaux Elite sell inventory inside Signature and Atlantic terminals under chain agreements and do not publish terms for individual FBOs.
- What revenue share do FBO ad networks pay?
- Only SkySync publishes a number: ad revenue on its Promotional Screen is split 50/50 with the FBO. Private Jet Media says net campaign revenue goes to the FBO's P&L without giving a percentage, and JetSet Media says revenue is shared without a split. Before signing with any network, get in writing the split, how 'net' is calculated, the term and exclusivity, who owns and maintains the screens, and what plays when no advertiser is booked.
- Can an independent FBO join the Clear Channel or JCDecaux networks?
- Not on the evidence published. Clear Channel Airports' private-aviation network runs through its partnership with Signature Aviation, and JCDecaux Elite was launched under an exclusive contract to represent Atlantic Aviation's terminal media. Independent FBOs looking for a hosted screen program are the market for Private Jet Media (through Private Jet Media Americas in the US), JetSet Media and SkySync.
- How do I show arrivals and departures on a lobby TV?
- Several ways, all on hardware you already have. FlightAware TV shows a live map with an arrivals-and-departures board and is bundled with an FBO Toolbox subscription (from $110 per airport per month). AirNav Radar's Airport View is included with its Business plan at $399.50 a year. SkySync's Customer Experience Display adds tail-number arrivals to fuel pricing, weather and FBO announcements for $350 a month per location. For a staff-facing board of inbound ETAs and service requests, FlightBridge TV is free on FlightBridge's Essential FBO plan.
- Do I need special screens or media players?
- For most products here, no. FlightAware TV runs in a browser on a computer connected to a 1080p or 4K TV; AirNav Radar, FlightBridge TV and SkySync run on internet-connected TVs or monitors you own. The ad networks (Private Jet Media, JetSet Media) supply and install their own screens. Mvix sells signage players as a one-time purchase, listed at $450 to $750, with free cloud software.
- What plays on an ad-network screen when no advertiser is booked?
- Private Jet Media says its screens can promote the FBO's own services, show VIP welcome messages or display digital art when no campaign is running. SkySync fills its Promotional Screen with ads it sells from local and aviation businesses, branded to the FBO. Ask any network how much of the loop the FBO controls.
- I want to advertise to private-jet passengers. Who sells FBO lobby media?
- In the US: Private Jet Media (sold through AdVentures Americas), JetSet Media, Clear Channel Airports for Signature Aviation terminals and JCDecaux Elite for Atlantic Aviation terminals. Outside the US, IMM International sells private-terminal screens alongside in-flight media. SkySync sells promotional-screen placements to local and aviation businesses in the FBOs it serves.
- Why aren't big airport signage companies listed?
- The Ramp Register lists companies that sell to FBOs and GA airports. Signage platforms whose only aviation work is commercial-airport FIDS or concourse advertising were reviewed and left out (Navori, Omnivex, BroadSign, Stratacache and others). A company qualifies here when its own site names an FBO, general aviation or private-terminal product or deployment.
