The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) has introduced a modern Flight Information Display System (FIDS) at Walvis Bay International Airport, aimed at improving passenger experience through faster and more reliable access to real-time travel information.

The newly installed system, valued at approximately N$1.3 million, introduces digital flight information screens throughout the airport terminal, allowing passengers to receive timely updates on arrivals, departures, boarding times, gate allocations, and operational changes.

The displays have been strategically installed at key passenger touchpoints, including check-in areas, departure lounges, waiting areas, and other passenger service locations, ensuring that travellers have easy access to important flight information throughout their journey.
