“Airport traffic is at record levels and the great demographics of this audience are very attractive to most major marketers around the world,” said Clear Channel Outdoor’s Global President and COO Paul Meyer. “Interspace has built a great company and the finest local sales team in the airport advertising industry.  The synergy between Clear Channel Outdoor’s very strong national sales organization and Interspace’s powerful local sales team will deliver the best possible financial results for all of our airport partners.”
