Airport International Group, Extime JCDecaux Airport to revamp advertising experience
Jordan-based Airport International Group has signed a partnership agreement with airport advertising company Extime JCDecaux Airport to enhance the OOH advertising experience at Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) in Amman, Jordan. The collaboration will see a full-scale update of the airport's media infrastructure, including new, larger digital screens and creative solutions in high-traffic areas, designed to improve visibility for advertisers and streamline the passenger journey. Extime JCDecaux Airport builds on JCDecaux's global expertise from airport media operations in more than 150 international hubs. At QAIA, the company will deploy a secure, ISO 27001-certified digital broadcasting system connecting all screens across the airport, enabling real-time synchronisation, seamless content delivery and centralised monitoring. The upgrade also includes large-format Skytouch portrait displays fitted with LED lighting and redesigned lightboxes with energy-efficient panels, located at the exterior of the airport. These additions aim to increase advertising impact while reducing energy consumption and operational costs. Inside the terminal, more prominent digital screens will be installed in high-traffic areas, creating new media opportunities for brands looking to reach travellers in Jordan's busiest airport. 'For us, every element of the airport journey – visual, operational and emotional – reflects our brand promise 'Feels Like Home'. As the first point of contact for millions arriving in Jordan, QAIA plays a vital role in shaping perceptions from the moment passengers arrive. Through our collaboration with Extime JCDecaux Airport, we are introducing a world-class visual environment that seamlessly combines innovation, sustainability and impactful brand storytelling. These enhancements are not only designed to create value for advertisers, but more importantly, to enrich the passenger experience at every touchpoint – making it more welcoming, engaging and aligned with the top-tier standards of Jordan's prime gateway to the world,' said, Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Deviller. Isabelle Fourmentin, Managing Director of Extime JCDecaux Airport, added: 'Our plan is to develop an eco-friendly advertising platform based on innovative, high-performance media solutions for advertisers, enhancing both brand advertising experiences and passenger journey.'

BSI: Helping organisations to build digital trust worldwide
As cyber threats grow in complexity and the world embraces digital transformation at scale, organisations are under increasing pressure to prove the integrity of their data security practices. For many, that proof comes in the form of ISO/IEC 27001 certification — widely regarded as the global gold standard for information security management. 'ISO/IEC 27001 provides a robust framework for managing risks and keeping information assets secure, particularly in relation to cybersecurity and data privacy,' says Ilias Karampoikis, META Sales and Commercial Director at BSI. 'It's become fundamental to building what we call digital trust — the confidence stakeholders have in an organisation's digital ecosystem, from its supply chain to its cloud operations.' The relevance of the standard has in fact grown with the advent of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and remote work. 'The Middle East region, in particular, has shown remarkable maturity in this space,' notes Dr Mohannad Abdel Qader, Senior Head of Field Services, EMEA Core Delivery at BSI. 'We've seen increased demand for certification due to the rapid digitalisation of business models and the rise in sophisticated cyber incidents.' Even though the certification is not mandated by the standard itself, a growing number of organisations pursue it to signal a serious commitment to protecting data. 'It's a way to demonstrate operational resilience — the ability to carry on as usual even in the face of network outages, weather disruptions or cyber-attacks,' notes Dr Abdel Qader. According to BSI, the certification process is structured yet flexible. It begins with a discussion to determine client requirements, followed by two stages of audits conducted by experts. Once the audits are successfully completed, the organisation receives its certificate. There are, however, common misconceptions. 'Some believe certification is only for large enterprises,' points Mr Karampoikis. 'In reality, ISO/IEC 27001 is scalable and applicable to any organisation regardless of size or sector,' he said. Certification Strength Mr Karampoikis stresses that the strength of the certification lies in the impartiality of the audit process — a key focus area for BSI. A perfect case in point is one telecommunications company that transformed from a traditional service provider into a full-fledged tech player, in part due to the trust instilled by the certification. The ISO/IEC 27001 certification helped the firm build credibility, win new business, and streamline third-party audits by customers. 'Their ISO/IEC 27001 certificate serves as an assurance that robust controls are in place to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and availability,' says Dr Abdel Qader. BSI's involvement doesn't end with certification. Accredited ISO/IEC 27001 certificates are valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits ensuring the management system remains fit for purpose. 'These audits identify deficiencies early, allowing organisations to proactively strengthen their defences,' explains Dr Abdel Qader. As technologies evolve, so do the standards. BSI engages a global network of over 15,000 experts to update guidelines in line with industry shifts. 'Last year, ISO/IEC 42001 launched — the first global AI management standard — which demonstrates how international frameworks are adapting,' highlights Mr Karampoikis. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) wary of the complexity or cost, the message is clear: the long-term gains far outweigh the initial effort. 'Adopting standards enhances operational efficiency, fosters trust, and opens up new opportunities,' Mr Karampoikis adds. With a legacy of over 120 years — including authorship of the first information security standard BS 7799 — BSI remains a trusted global partner. 'Our mission has always been to shape a resilient, trustworthy digital society,' concludes Mr Karampoikis.
