Optimizing flight display systems : best practice guide for airport information management (FIDS)
In the world of air transport, flight information display systems play an essential role in ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience for passengers. These systems are at the heart of airport operations, and contribute greatly to the optimization of airport operations. So how can airports take advantage of best practices to improve these systems? PADS4, a Smart Building platform with expertise in FIDS (Flight Information Display Systems), gives you a few keys to the sector’s current challenges, thanks to its expertise.
Current issues
Airports face a number of challenges in managing flight information, particularly in terms of operational complexity and passenger expectations. PADS4 has found that its FIDS platform provides a number of aids to overcome these issues.
Passenger expectations
Nowadays, passengers expect clear, accurate and up-to-date information about their flights. Delays and cancellations can be frustrating, but a high-performance display system like PADS4 can alleviate this frustration by providing seamless communication between the airport and passengers.
Complexity of operations
With a growing number of flights and airlines, airport operations are becoming increasingly complex. It is imperative for airports to have reliable and efficient flight information display systems that enable passengers to plan their journeys smoothly. The PADS4 platform’s FIDS component makes this possible.
Successful FIDS case studies
PADS4 has been involved in many countries and airports, but the case study below is one of the best demonstrations of how innovative technologies can be used in flight information display systems to improve the overall experience.
Success story : Eindhoven Airport
With the opening of the first terminal at Eindhoven airport, PADS4 delivered the first phase of its Smart Airport Signage solution, implementing the FIDS (Flight Information Display System) and PADS4 digital signage software to display flight information in the arrival/departure area, check-in counters, security area, gate area and baggage claim area.
With some fifty screens strategically placed in these areas, passengers can quickly find out where to check in and whether their flight will depart on time. Delays or gate changes are visible on these screens in a matter of seconds.
The aim was to provide an intelligent airport display solution to display relevant travel information and improve the overall traveler experience at Eindhoven Airport.
“PADS4 provided a robust and dynamic solution that matches the critical environment in which we operate on a daily basis,” says Eli Lejeune, Marketing Director at Eindhoven Airport. “With airport-wide displays in all crucial areas, our intelligent airport signage provides real-time flight information, ensuring that 3.4 million travelers a year are well informed, leading to optimized passenger flow through the airport,” he concludes.
