FIDS

What FIDS means

•FIDS stands for Flight Information Display System.

•This system processes flight information from passenger related, airport related, or commercial related databases into relevant information.

•That info is ready to be shown at any display at any

location.

• A Flight Information Display System covers everything that has to do with the display of flight information inside – and often also outside – the airport terminal.

• The most visible part of a FIDS are of course the digital screens that you will find all around the airport terminal. From overview screens in the arrival & departure hall and screens above the check-in counters to screens at the gates and baggage belts. Ideally, every place where a passenger is expected to make a decision or to look for information would need to have one of more screens.
