Flight information display system
A computer system controls mechanical or electronic display boards or TV screens to show arrivals and departures flight information in real-time. The displays are inside or around an airport terminal. A virtual version of a FIDS can also be found on most airport websites and teletext systems. In large airports, there are sets of FIDS for each terminal. Some airports use a separate FIDS for each major airline. FID systems help passengers during air travel and people who want to pick-up passengers after the flight.
