Amsterdam Schiphol Advertising: DOOH by the Hour (AMS)

The traffic signature

How AMS actually flows

From Blindspot's airport audience-flow modelling: hourly indices distributing the operator's verified annual totals across documented peak patterns. Honest models, not invented sensor counts — no airport publishes hourly headcounts.

The 05:00–09:00 wave rules

A dominant early-morning long-haul departure bank is Schiphol's signature; transfer traffic then holds middays elevated instead of letting them dip.

Weekend mornings are the heaviest

Unique among Europe's big hubs: Saturday and Sunday mornings consistently run hottest — the model's busiest cells land at weekend 08:00.

One terminal, one canvas

The famous single-terminal concept (three connected departure halls under one roof) makes AMS the cleanest single-buy domination play in European aviation — near-24h, with an overnight value window.
