Data feed assessment
Review authorised flight data formats, update mechanisms and field definitions, including arrival, departure, gate and status information.
Clear flight information across airport displays.
Plan and develop flight information displays around authorised operational data, readable layouts and airport review requirements.
A Flight Information Display System brings operational flight data to passenger-facing screens. We scope FIDS projects around the available data source, display network and airport procedures, including who can approve or override displayed information. Accurate mapping, readable presentation and handling of stale or unavailable data are central considerations. Delivery depends on coordination with airport stakeholders and authorised infrastructure or data providers.
We agree the priorities and deliverables with you before work begins. Your proposal defines the features and activities included.
Review authorised flight data formats, update mechanisms and field definitions, including arrival, departure, gate and status information.
Design readable screens for agreed viewing distances, languages and display resolutions, with consistent status and time presentation.
Map incoming records to the display model and handle missing fields, update ordering and agreed validation rules.
Configure supported display groups for terminals, gates or operational areas so each screen shows the relevant information.
Define authorised manual updates, access permissions and audit requirements in consultation with the airport's operating team.
Agree stale-data indicators, recovery behaviour and operational test scenarios before deployment to the live display environment.
Clear checkpoints give your team a chance to review the work and resolve important decisions at the right stage.
Confirm data ownership, display hardware and airport stakeholders.
Approve field mapping, screen designs and exception behaviour.
Integrate and validate using representative flight data and display devices.
Complete stakeholder acceptance checks and a coordinated rollout.
The delivery agreement identifies the application features, environments, documentation and source or licence arrangements. Acceptance is based on agreed workflows. Hosting, third-party services, maintenance and future feature requests are planned separately.

Practical answers about Flight Information Display Systems.
Ask us another questionThe project requires an authorised data source supplied by the airport or an agreed provider. Data access, licensing and feed reliability must be confirmed separately.
We assess resolution, connectivity, playback devices and management capabilities before confirming compatibility or required upgrades.
The expected behaviour is defined with the operator, including stale-data warnings, approved fallback content and recovery procedures. Operational requirements must be validated before release.
