Reconstruction
Novaport Holding runs leading airports of Siberia. In 2011 Novaport started project development and financing of Tomsk Airport reconstruction. The project included reconstruction and expansion of passenger terminal, new VIP and business halls, new control tower and office building for the airport services. The main goal of the reconstruction was opening of state border inspection post and gaining an international airport status.
To realize the set goals it was necessary to install a modern system of providing information for passengers in the airport. Integral Systems won the tender for supply of Flight Information Display System FIDS and voice information system AVIS.
Realized solutions
Flight Information Display System IS-FIDS was installed at Tomsk Airport in the beginning of 2013. IS-FIDS automatically indicates all technological stages of departure formalities, including operational schedule, check-in counters, boarding, zones of special and border control on the information monitors.
IS-AVIS system was implemented in 2013. It enables to inform passengers in Russian and main European languages: English, German, Italian, French. IS-AVIS enables to input any message, to translate it instantly and pronounce it in foreign languages.
Besides, IS-FIDS system was integrated with corporate web site of the airport and with fire-fighting system of the airport terminal, all OKSION system requirements were met as well.
Flight Information Display System has been working non-stop at full capacity since the end of 2012. Tomsk Airport operates regular flights day-and-night for more than 20 destinations, IS-FIDS system has been working without switching off for more than two years.
