Airports rank among the busiest public spaces in the world, with thousands of travelers moving through terminals, gates, lounges, and parking facilities every day. Keeping people moving smoothly while maximizing branding opportunities and maintaining safety is essential. That’s where Spotlight® and ZonePro® come in — two innovative barrier systems from Modus® that transform crowd control into a powerful tool for organization, messaging, and branding.

Streamlining Airport Flow with Spotlight

Airports are full of queues: ticketing counters, TSA checkpoints, boarding gates, lounges, retail stores, and dining areas. Spotlight barriers elevate any space with incremental branding opportunities while enhancing the crowd control experience in high-traffic spaces.

  • Crowd Control Made Smarter: Spotlight barriers keep lines organized and prevent passengers from ducking underneath or cutting through, ensuring order in busy spaces.
  • Branding & Advertising: With large, dual-sided banners, Spotlight transforms crowd control into advertising ready media. Airports and airlines can promote their brand, frequent flyer programs, revenue generating promotions, or upcoming routes on sleek, professional barriers that match the terminal aesthetic.
  • Wayfinding with Clarity: Spotlight banners double as directional signage, guiding travelers toward gates, lounges, and amenities without the clutter of temporary signs.
  • Elevated Experience: Spotlight not only manages passenger flow but also creates a premium feel, especially in lounges. Swappable fabric banners make it easy to refresh messaging, whether promoting city tourism or updating directions for a terminal expansion.

ZonePro for Essential Access Control

Beyond the terminal, airports need versatile safety and access solutions that can adapt on the fly. That’s where ZonePro excels.

  • Restroom Access: When cleaning or maintenance is in progress, ZonePro barriers provide a clear and professional way to restrict access without confusion. Unlike cones or makeshift signs, ZonePro delivers a polished look with customizable safety or directional messaging.
  • Parking & Transportation Hubs: Airports are multimodal, with monorails, trams, shuttle buses, and parking decks all requiring controlled access. ZonePro barriers can be rapidly deployed to close off lanes, redirect foot traffic, or designate restricted zones. The dual barrier provides up to 24 feet of coverage, which is ideal for areas like train platforms or garage entrances.
  • Safe & Flexible Deployment: Built for durability, ZonePro units are mobile, adaptable, and easy for staff to set up, move, and store — ensuring operational efficiency while improving passenger safety.

Fabric Change-Outs for Maximum ROI

Both brands boast fully customizable, dual-sided banners that measure 12 feet wide and 3 feet high. Our premium fabric ensures that messaging looks crisp, dynamic, and professional. Moreover, Spotlight and ZonePro use quick-change fabric systems that allow airports to swap banners in minutes without tools or special training. This maximizes ROI by turning barriers into dynamic, update-ready platforms.

The Modus Advantage in Aviation

With Spotlight and ZonePro, airports can:

  • Maintain safe and efficient passenger flow
