definitely not this site. I think it’s crazy!
Visual pollution, above all. I love the views from the plane. I doubt I’ll ever forget the photo I took flying back from Spain in 1996 of the clouds and their shadows over Portugal, the Australian coastline Northeast of Darwin or the view of Seoul en route back to Osaka. I certainly don’t want to see ads.
Ad-Air said it had secured regulatory and planning approval to set up ad sites near more than a dozen major airports, including Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle near Paris, Hartsfield-Jackson near Atlanta, Denver International, Los Angeles International, Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok, Haneda in Tokyo and Dubai International. It said it was still negotiating with others to create a network of ad sites near 30 airports over all.
I suppose it’s a small favor that it’s not going to be in New York. At least at Haneda, and I suppose a lot of SE Asia, more visual pollution might just be invisible given how much ‘noise’ already exists.
I really want to see when more people pick this up apart from the mention that Ad-Air is in existence. I want to know who, beyond the company itself, thinks it’s a good idea.
