Every gate. Every language.
Flight information, gate-change updates, multi-language wayfinding and emergency broadcast across every airport terminal and concourse.
An airport is a city. Every passenger passes through in their own language, stress-level and schedule.
An international airport serves 60-100 million passengers a year across 12+ languages, with constantly-shifting flights and gates. Static signage can't handle it. Hangar.Media integrates with Amadeus Altea, Sabre AirVision, SITA ACE-M and custom airport-FIDS systems to surface live flight data; building-directory for multi-terminal wayfinding; accessibility-routing with BSL and large-type mode. Multi-language rotation covers the most-common visitor languages at the specific airport. Bridge-override emergency broadcast reaches every screen in under 10 seconds.
Built for how airports actually run.
The capabilities that matter in this sector — concrete, specific, and backed by the integrations your team already uses.
BA 123 gate 24. Boarding. EZY 456 delayed 40 minutes.
Flight information displays surface live departure, arrival, gate-change, delay and cancellation data from your airport FIDS. Gate-change propagation is sub-minute; passengers running between terminals see the new gate immediately. Accessible formatting (large-type mode, high-contrast, audio-announcement via app) supports visually-impaired and hearing-impaired travellers.
Gate change at T2 propagates to every screen in 40 seconds.
- Amadeus Altea, Sabre AirVision, SITA ACE-M FIDS integration
- Sub-minute gate-change propagation across every terminal
- Accessibility-format (large-type, high-contrast, audio-via-app)
- Per-airline branding for codeshare partners
A 40-gate terminal. First-time traveller. Step-free route.
Interactive wayfinding totems at every terminal entrance, security-queue exit, gate-area junction and lift-lobby provide turn-by-turn directions to any gate, lounge, service, restroom or accessibility-route. Multi-language support in 12+ languages. Step-free / elevator-only / BSL-interpreter-available route variants are first-class options, not hidden toggles.
First-time travellers find their gate without a stopover at information.
- Touch-kiosk wayfinding totems at every major decision-point
- Accessibility-routing (step-free, lift-only, BSL-interpreter-route, hearing-loop)
- 12-language support (EN, ES, FR, DE, IT, ZH, JA, KO, AR, RU, HI, PT)
- Multi-terminal routing with inter-terminal shuttle-timing
PRM-assistance. Hearing-loop. BSL-interpretation. Visible.
Airports are WCAG-regulated; accessibility signage is non-negotiable. Hangar.Media defaults to WCAG 2.1 AA baselines (4.5:1 contrast, 16pt+ text) with configurable AAA mode. PRM (Persons with Reduced Mobility) assistance desks, hearing-loop counter locations, BSL-interpreter availability and sensory-quiet-zone routing surface on accessibility-aware screens. Audio-description via visitor-app BLE-beacon integration for vision-impaired travellers.
Accessibility isn't a toggle. It's how every screen renders by default.
- WCAG 2.1 AA baseline default, AAA mode configurable per-screen
- PRM-assistance desk location visibility
- Hearing-loop counters and BSL-interpreter availability
- Sensory-quiet-zone routing for autistic travellers
Pre-flight coffee. Last-chance duty-free. POS-synced.
Terminal concessions (coffee, food-court, duty-free retail, premium-lounge) connect to their POS for live pricing, menu-sync and stock-awareness. Concession screens in seat-holding areas promote specific outlets with walk-time estimation ('your gate is 8 minutes away, coffee at Starbucks 3 minutes'). Duty-free promotion in the gate-hold area captures last-chance shopping.
Passengers find a coffee with their gate 8 minutes away. Not 45 minutes too far.
- Concession POS integration (Toast, Square, Oracle MICROS, custom FBO POS)
- Walk-time estimation from current-location to concession-location
- Duty-free promotion in gate-hold areas
- Allergen-icon overlay for food-court outlets
Security incident. Every screen. 10 seconds.
Airport emergencies (security-incident, fire-evacuation, runway-closure, severe-weather) require terminal-wide signage override within seconds. Our bridge-level override pushes emergency content to every screen in the targeted zone within 10 seconds. Zone-level targeting supports partial evacuations and operational-diversion messaging. Integration with airport-security systems enables automatic triggering.
Security override declared. Every screen shows the evacuation message in 10 seconds.
- Bridge-override to every screen in the targeted zone within ≤10s
- Zone-level targeting (terminal, concourse, gate-cluster)
- Security-system integration for auto-trigger on alarm
- Post-incident audit log with timestamp and approver trail
Every screen in the building.
From customer-facing walls to operational dashboards — the scenarios that make the platform worth running day-to-day.
Flight boards and check-in guidance
Departure-hall flight-information-displays with live status, gate-assignment and queue-routing for premium-lane / priority / economy check-in.
Wait-time and route guidance

Wayfinding totems and walk-time
Concourse wayfinding with turn-by-turn to any gate, concession or service with walk-time estimation and accessibility-routing options.
Gate-status and boarding-flow
Gate-adjacent screens with live boarding-status, group-call boarding-progression, accessibility-assistance availability and final-call messaging.
Carousel-assignment and timing
Baggage-claim screens with carousel assignment, estimated first-bag time, lost-baggage service location and ground-transport routing.
Lounge-specific concierge content
Lounge-entrance and interior screens with lounge-specific menu, flight-status for loungers, concierge-service promotion and accessibility-assistance availability.
The integrations that actually matter here.
Every integration is included in every plan. These are the ones airports operators reach for first.

Which airport FIDS systems do you integrate with?
Amadeus Altea, Sabre AirVision, SITA ACE-M, ACI Airport Data, SITA AirportPulse, IndraSistemas and custom airport-operations systems via REST API or AIDX / AFIX industry-standard protocols. Gate-change, delay, cancellation and boarding-status propagation is sub-minute across every screen in the terminal. For FBO (fixed-base operator) private-aviation terminals, we integrate with ARINCDirect, Jeppesen JetPlanner and custom systems.
How do you handle multi-language support across 60M+ passengers?
Per-airport language defaults are configured from visitor-demographic data — Heathrow might default to EN + ZH + AR + JA + FR + ES; Atlanta to EN + ES + ZH + PT + KO; Dubai to EN + AR + ZH + RU + HI + UR. Flight information displays cycle through primary languages; wayfinding totems offer 12+ language switching with visitor selection. BLE-beacon visitor-app integration handles language-preference-aware audio announcements.
How quickly does emergency broadcast reach every screen?
Under 10 seconds in every tested deployment. A security-control-room duty-officer button-press pushes emergency content to every screen in the targeted zone within 10 seconds, with zone-level targeting for partial-terminal evacuations. Integration with airport-security and fire-alarm systems enables automatic triggering. Every broadcast is audit-logged with timestamp, source, zone coverage and approver — essential for post-incident CAA / FAA review.
What does an airport deployment cost?
£5 per screen per month. A regional airport with 150 FIDS / wayfinding / concourse screens pays £750 per month. A major international hub with 800 screens across three terminals pays £4,000 per month. Every integration, every language-pack, WCAG accessibility, emergency-override and post-incident audit export included. No aviation-sector premium.
