Paris Charles de Gaulle, hour by hour

Paris Charles de Gaulle is Europe's third-busiest hub and France's global gateway — the Air France/SkyTeam fortress that never closes — 72 million passengers a year. They don't arrive evenly, and that's the entire opportunity: on Blindspot you book the exact screens for the exact hours the terminal is full, at per-play prices, with no minimums. This page decodes CDG's traffic signature from Blindspot's airport flow modelling.

The traffic signature

How CDG 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.

A 24/7 connecting machine

~197,000 passengers and ~2,000 flights a day across 300+ destinations, with no hard curfew — connection waves keep middays elevated and create a genuine overnight value window.

Hub banks set the clock

Morning departure banks and evening arrival waves are the premium windows; transfer traffic smooths the middle of the day rather than emptying it.

Real-time triggered media is proven here

CDG's operator runs flight-triggered DOOH — ads activating as selected flights land, in passengers' languages. Blindspot's contextual rules bring the same logic to any connected screen.
