While I was with the Arkansas Air Museum we maintained and were freely given the space for a stand alone display in the airport's main terminal. Being within walking distance of the terminal, that display brought several visitors to our museum who needed to kill a little time between flights. However, in the same terminal, the University Museum maintained a display case which they used as a stop on their "rotating exhibits" display. While these displays were seen by many hundreds of people a day, I personally don't think they drew them all that many visitors if any. And I think that's the story for a lot of airport displays. I think of them as Point of Sale devices. If they're where the customer can react to them at once, they'll do so. But if the customer has to take some other action before they get to act on the display the chances of their doing so decrease to near zero in a very short time. Still they are valuable as a means of reaching the public with your collection and I wouldn't consider turning down the chance to display in such an environment were I given the chance to do so.
