DSM Is Taking Off At The Airport

October 25, 2013

On your next visit to the Des Moines International Airport (DSM), be sure to check out the new displays spotlighting great news about Greater Des Moines. The Greater Des Moines Partnership partnered with DSM and Clear Channel Airports to develop two tension fabric displays positioned in the baggage claim area of the airport.

The first display boasts that Des Moines’ passengers enjoyed the third-largest drop in airfares in the U.S. (6.9 percent) between Q1 2012 and Q1 2013. The information came from a U.S. Department of Transportation study. The second display lists some of the top national media rankings the region has earned this year: #1 "Best Places for Business and Careers" — Forbes, #2 "Strongest Local Economy" — Policom, and #3 "Top 15 U.S. Cities' Emerging Downtowns" — Forbes.

"The Des Moines metro area has received many accolades recently and the Airport Authority is pleased to assist the Greater Des Moines Partnership publicize that information," said Don Smithey, DSM Executive Director.

The displays went up this week and will remain on display indefinitely. For opportunities regarding these displays, please contact Clear Channel Airports at (800) 628-6800.
