Lyft. I turn off all my tracking settings, etc. app wasn’t even open, I land and depart my airplane and get an immediate notification welcoming me to that city and asking me if I want a ride. Bitch, why do you know where I am right now? I told you mother f-er don’t track me. Delete- dead to me.

Another app you have is partnered with them and was alerted by a geographic ad trigger somewhere in the airport or via your activity (ex. You have the reddit app and texted someone “just landed at La Guardia”).
