Airport Terminal Set Rental
Airport Sets for Film, Television & Commercial Production
Looking for an airport terminal set for your production?
Aero Mock-Ups provides airport terminal sets, aviation props and set dressing for feature films, television, commercials, music videos, photography and other productions.
Create the look of a working airport without the restrictions of filming inside an operating terminal.
From passenger waiting areas and boarding gates to check-in counters and other airport environments, Aero Mock-Ups can help your production build the terminal scene your script requires.
Create the Airport Your Scene Requires
Not every airport scene needs an entire terminal.
Sometimes you need a departure gate filled with passengers. Sometimes it's a check-in counter, an arrivals area or just enough of an airport environment to establish where the scene takes place.
Aero Mock-Ups can help productions create a variety of airport environments, including:
- Boarding gates
- Passenger waiting areas
- Airline check-in areas
- Ticket counters
- Arrivals and departures areas
- Airport seating areas
- Baggage claim environments
- Security and queue areas
- Airline service areas
- Custom airport environments
Build only what the camera needs to see—and dress it to fit the airport, airline and story you're creating.
Airport Gate & Boarding Areas
Create the moment before the flight.
Airport gate environments can be configured with terminal seating, boarding and airline equipment, signage, stanchions, luggage and other aviation-specific set dressing.
Whether you're creating a crowded holiday departure, a quiet late-night gate, a dramatic goodbye or passengers waiting for a delayed flight, the environment can be adapted around the needs of your scene.
And when the passengers finally board?
Aero Mock-Ups can also provide the airplane cabin.
Airline Check-In & Ticket Counter Sets
Create an airline check-in environment without taking your production into an operating airport.
Combine counters, signage, queue equipment, luggage and aviation set dressing to establish the look of an airline ticketing or check-in area.
The environment can be dressed for a contemporary commercial airport or adapted around the specific visual requirements of your production.
Airport Waiting Areas & Terminal Seating
Sometimes all it takes to establish an airport is the right seating, signage and set dressing.
Aero Mock-Ups offers airport and terminal seating that can be used to create passenger waiting areas, departure lounges, gate areas and other aviation environments.
Rent the pieces individually for your own set or combine them with additional Aero Mock-Ups airport equipment to create a more complete terminal.

Why Film on an Airport Set?
Real airports never stop operating just because your camera starts rolling.
Filming inside an active airport can mean working around passengers, security requirements, restricted areas, background noise, limited hours, changing conditions and tight control over where equipment and crew can go.
A controlled airport set gives your production greater freedom over:
- Camera placement
- Lighting
- Sound
- Background performers
- Set dressing
- Signage and airline branding
- Continuity
- Scheduling
- Special effects
- Multiple takes
Instead of adapting your scene to the airport, you can adapt the airport to your scene.
From the Terminal to the Airplane
One of the biggest advantages of working with Aero Mock-Ups is that the airport doesn't have to end at the boarding gate.
We specialize in aviation environments.
A production can source an airport terminal environment along with many of the elements needed to continue the scene aboard the aircraft.
Depending on your production, Aero Mock-Ups can also provide:
- Commercial airplane cabin sets
- Private jet sets
- Airplane cockpit sets
- Coach / Economy airplane seats
- Business and First Class seats
- Aircraft doors
- Galleys and service areas
- Flight attendant seats
- Aviation props
- Passenger set dressing
- Crew wardrobe and aviation accessories
That means your production can create a more cohesive aviation sequence while sourcing many of the specialized elements from one place.

Airport Props & Set Dressing
An empty room doesn't look like an airport.
The details make the difference.
Aero Mock-Ups maintains an extensive inventory of aviation-specific props and set dressing that can help transform a stage or location into a believable airport environment.
Depending on your scene, this may include airport seating, luggage, signage, airline equipment, passenger items, stanchions and queue equipment, service pieces and other aviation-related dressing.
Whether you're building an entire terminal or just need enough detail to sell a close-up, our team can help identify the pieces that make the environment read as an airport on camera.

Build a Fictional Airport or Airline
Your airport doesn't have to be LAX, JFK or any real-world terminal.
For fictional productions, creating the airport on a controlled set gives your art department the freedom to establish its own visual identity.
Signage, counters, gate areas and other elements can be dressed around a fictional airline or destination, allowing the environment to serve the story rather than forcing the story to conform to an existing airport.
For commercials and branded productions, the same flexibility can help create an airport environment around the needs of the campaign.

More Than an Airport Prop House
Aero Mock-Ups specializes in aviation for the entertainment industry.
For decades, our aviation sets, aircraft interiors, cockpits, airport environments, passenger seats, props and set dressing have been used in film, television, commercials, music videos, photography and other productions.
That specialization matters.
We understand how the different pieces of an airport and aircraft environment work together—and what the camera needs to make them believable.
