“This award showcases our commitment to delivering clever, useful consumer services to Clear Channel Airports’ growing network,” said Michael Riley, President, Clear Channel Airports.  “Our FreeCharge™ Power Stations ensure that DFW International patrons have a convenient outlet to where they can power up the electronic devices they need for a productive travel experience.”

“FreeCharge™ has, not surprisingly, been very popular with passengers flying in and out of our busy airport.  They provide not only free power but also free internet with CAT 5 and USB ports; even the travelers without laptops, will find the FreeCharge™  user friendly with the built-in laptops,” said Dana Cassidy, Manager Airport Concession, Dallas Fort Worth International.  “We congratulate Clear Channel Airports on its innovative concept, which help us better serve and keep happy the 60 million travelers that pass through our airport annually.”
