How Do I Use FIDS in Mvix CMS?

Last-minute gate or departure time changes can have a number of implications for airport businesses. With Flight Information Display on digital signage, you can keep guests updated and help them plan. FIDS on Mvix CMS includes pre-built visualizations displaying real-time flight data including arrivals and departures, travel slots, baggage information, gate locations, and weather (arrival or departure).

Given how hectic airports can get, keeping your visitors up-to-date is key to enhancing their travel experience. By using the FIDS feature, you can easily show clear and relevant flight data on your digital signage displays. Whether you want to use your digital signage in an airport or not.

Mvix has leveraged the world's largest provider of aviation data to provide this real-time flight information for its clients. This data covers over 970 airlines, 17,000 airports, and 400,000 aircraft, as well as millions of events, weather, traffic, and fares for 300,000 routes worldwide.

This feature is essential for hotels and airports that regularly need to ensure their guests are kept up-to-date on any changes that might affect their travel plans.
