Coimbatore Airport Director K Peter Abraham has said that installation of Flight Information Digital System (FIDS) boards, Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) and SMS facility for passengers are in the final stages at the airport and are likely to be inaugurated within the next seven to 10 days.
Abraham told a newspaper that the facilities under FIDS include provision of information through LCD display boards and video walls and the total project cost is around Rs 1 crore. The measures are part of the exercise taken up to modernise the airport.
A total of 74 digital boards will be installed to keep the people informed on the departure and arrival status of flights. Two of the boards will be outside the airport for the visitors, while the rest will be in front of the various airlines counters and arrival and departure halls.
The digital flight information system will be functional based on the inputs fed by the airlines. These boards will replace the 15-year-old conventional flight information board.
