Fewer flight contacts

Posters Not only in Zurich and Basel, but also in Berne and Lugano, airport advertising lost further frequencies in 2003. In Bern-Belp, passenger numbers fell by 4.6 percent compared to 2002 to 164469 travelers, while Lugano-Agno Airport fared even worse, with a 25 percent drop to 172015 passengers. Unique was down 5.1 percent on the previous year with 17 million passengers and EuroAirport was down 19 percent (2.5 million). Geneva-Cointrin was the only airport to post an increase, with 8.1 million passengers (+6.1 percent), a record result.
The following outdoor advertisers are affected by the falling number of passengers: Clear Channel Plakanda looks after Unique and parts of EuroAirport; APG is present in Basel, Geneva and Lugano; JCDecaux sells space at EuroAirport, and Publiscreen markets Bern-Belp Airport.
