UK. JCDecaux, the number one outdoor advertising company globally, has secured a new eight-year contract with Heathrow Airport to run from 1 January 2027.
The concession award extends a long-standing partnership that spans over 25 years and reinforces Heathrow’s status as one of the world’s leading premium advertising environments, JCDecaux noted.
London Heathrow Airport is the world’s seventh-busiest gateway by passenger numbers, serving a record 84.5 travellers in 2025.
Heathrow is the UK’s premier international gateway and for the third consecutive year, ranked as the world’s most connected airport, with flights to 230 destinations in over 80 countries¹.
As Heathrow celebrates its 80th birthday, the partnership will support the next phase of growth in Heathrow’s media offering, while enhancing the experience for passengers at Heathrow and Heathrow Express, JCDecaux said.
The contract builds on JCDecaux’s leadership in airport advertising globally. The company manages the advertising contracts in 14 of the world’s 25 largest airports, delivering its messaging to 54% of that collective audience.
In February 2026, JCDecaux launched the first DOOH (Digital Out of Home) global programmatic advertising offer, enabling advertisers to activate campaigns seamlessly across the world, including at major international airport hubs such as Heathrow.
Heathrow Retail Director Fraser Brown said, “Heathrow offers brands access to one of the most valuable and diverse international audiences anywhere in the world.
“JCDecaux has been a trusted partner for many years and has played an important role in developing our media estate. Together, we will continue to evolve our offering, with a focus on innovation and enhancing the passenger experience to make every journey better.
“The new agreement will expand our commercial offering, while creating new opportunities for brands to engage passengers in this unique environment.”
JCDecaux Co‑Chief Executive Officer Jean‑François Decaux said, “We are delighted to have renewed this contract, cementing our partnership with Heathrow, one of the world’s most prestigious and strategically important airport environments.
“This new agreement reflects the strength of our long-standing relationship and our shared commitment to innovation, quality and delivering exceptional experiences for passengers and advertisers.
“As international travel continues to grow, Heathrow remains an unrivalled gateway to premium audiences from the UK and around the world.
“Working with Heathrow, we will continue to invest in market-leading solutions, data-driven capabilities and innovative advertising experiences that help brands connect with audiences in this high-attention, real-world environment.” ✈
