KARACHI: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has installed an indigenously manufactured Flight Information Display System (FIDS) at the Peshawar Airport.

It has been developed by the CAA in collaboration with the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), said a CAA handout issued here on Wednesday.

The system would provide information about incoming and outgoing flights on nine plasma screens and four LED board to the passengers and visitors.

The system also has the facility of digital signage and infotainment. The digital signage would cater to the requirements of various companies to display their advertisements, where as the space for the infotainment would be utilised for the news and weather updates.

The facility of digital signage would generate reasonable amount of revenue for the CAA.

Such FIDSs have already been installed at the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad airports by German and Italian companies.

However, to save valuable foreign exchange, the FIDS was developed, which is much cheaper than the one installed by the foreign companies.
