Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Upgrades Flight Information Display Systems with Skyworth Commercial Solutions

As one of the three major international hub airports in China and among the busiest aviation hubs in Asia and even the world, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (GBIA) has long been a crucial gateway connecting Guangzhou, the economic powerhouse of South China, to the global aviation network. Strategically located in the northern part of Guangzhou, the airport handles millions of passengers and thousands of flights annually, making efficient and reliable passenger service infrastructure a top priority. Among the key systems that ensure smooth airport operations, the Flight Information Display System (FIDS) stands out as a vital component, serving as the primary channel for real - time flight - related information dissemination to both passengers and airport staff.

The traditional FIDS at GBIA is an electronic system designed to display real - time flight information. It retrieves comprehensive and accurate data in real time from the airport's information integration system, including flight schedules, weather conditions, service updates, and important announcements. By automatically and promptly releasing this information, the system plays a critical role in guiding passengers through every step of their travel journey, from check - in, waiting, and transit to boarding and baggage claim. It also provides essential operational support to airport staff, ensuring the orderly flow of daily airport activities.

However, with the continuous growth in air traffic volume and the increasing demand for more efficient and high - quality passenger services, the existing FIDS in GBIA's Terminal 1 began to face challenges in meeting the evolving operational needs. To address these issues and further enhance the airport's service quality and operational efficiency, GBIA made a strategic decision in September 2024 to launch a comprehensive upgrade project for the FIDS in the departure hall, arrival hall, and check - in counters of Terminal 1. This upgrade project was not only aimed at improving the display effect and information accuracy of the system but also at ensuring its stability and security to cope with the airport's 24/7 intensive operational environment.

In response to GBIA's urgent and specific needs, Skyworth Commercial, a leading provider of professional display solutions, quickly mobilized its resources across technology, product development, and production departments. Leveraging its rich experience in providing customized display solutions for large - scale public infrastructure projects, Skyworth Commercial tailored a high - performance FIDS solution specifically for GBIA. The solution included a total of over 700 flight information display units, covering two main sizes - 43 - inch and 55 - inch, to meet the different installation requirements in various areas of the airport terminal.

One of the key highlights of Skyworth Commercial's FIDS products is their robust security features. All display units are equipped with a security solution against unauthorized access, effectively preventing illegal intrusion and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the flight information displayed. In an era where information security is of utmost importance, this security measure provides a solid guarantee for the smooth and reliable operation of the airport's information system.

In terms of display quality, the products adopt 4K ultra - high - definition resolution, which delivers crystal - clear and detailed flight information. Whether it is flight numbers, departure/arrival times, gate numbers, or baggage claim carousel information, passengers can easily read the content even from a distance, significantly improving the information acquisition experience. The use of industrial - grade panels and power supplies further ensures the durability and stability of the display units. These industrial - grade components are designed to withstand the harsh operating conditions of the airport, including long - term continuous operation, large temperature fluctuations, and high - intensity usage, enabling the display units to work continuously for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without frequent failures.

Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of the upgrade project was to complete the system replacement without disrupting the normal operation of the airport. Skyworth Commercial's technical team worked closely with GBIA's operational and technical personnel to develop a detailed and rigorous implementation plan. Through precise coordination and seamless collaboration, the team successfully achieved the seamless switchover between the new FIDS units and the existing control equipment. During the upgrade process, there was no interruption to the display of flight information, and passengers and staff were able to access real - time flight information as usual. This smooth transition not only minimized the impact on the airport's daily operations but also demonstrated Skyworth Commercial's strong technical capabilities and project management expertise.

The successful completion of the FIDS upgrade project in GBIA's Terminal 1 marks a significant milestone in the airport's efforts to enhance its service quality and operational efficiency. With the new high - performance FIDS provided by Skyworth Commercial, GBIA is now better equipped to handle the growing passenger flow and increasingly complex operational demands. Passengers can enjoy a more convenient and efficient travel experience with clear, accurate, and real - time flight information, while airport staff can rely on a more stable and secure information system to carry out their work.

Looking ahead, this cooperation between GBIA and Skyworth Commercial sets a good example for the upgrading of information display systems in other large - scale airports across China and even around the world. It shows that by leveraging advanced technology and customized solutions, airports can effectively improve their operational efficiency and service quality, providing a better travel experience for passengers and contributing to the sustainable development of the global aviation industry. As air travel continues to recover and grow, the demand for advanced and reliable FIDS solutions will only increase, and Skyworth Commercial is well - positioned to meet this demand with its continuous innovation and commitment to quality.
