The
AS Flight Information Display System (FIDS) is also based on information
in the CDB that
is added to and activated by a user.
The FIDS consist of all staff monitors,
airport information monitors, check-in monitors, baggage claim
monitors and gate monitors. If one of these screens is updated
then automatically all corresponding monitors are updated e.g.
“ Boarding Now” displayed on gate screen will also
automatically show “Boarding Now” on airport information
monitors.
The FIDS also controls the announcement
system whereby if a flight is delayed, a check-in agent may update
a monitor, select a language(s), add information for time on delay
and activate the announcement. |
