Digital signage represents a prudent opportunity to generate non-aeronautical revenue for the airport while enhancing communications with visitors and promoting local businesses, attractions, and cultural institutions. Such investments help support SJC and City’s long-term competitiveness and its continued role as a driver of economic vitality for the region. Digital advertising is a prudent way to ensure SJC can continue to serve as our region’s destination airport and serve our important visitor economy. SSE supports the proposal for SJC to pursue this impactful project.
