Trusted At
Farnborough Airport
Farnborough Airport trusts MRG Systems and LiveSpace for its digital signage. See how digital signage for airports works in a real terminal.
MRG has made it much easier for us to keep passenger information clear and up to date. When something changes, we can update the right screens quickly without relying on printed notices.
Being able to update information across our screens quickly has made a real difference. LiveSpace gives our team the control we need when schedules, announcements or important messages change.
Managing digital signage across multiple areas used to be complicated. MRG gave us a much simpler way to control our screens centrally while still keeping information relevant to each location.
FAQs About Digital Signage for Airports
Ready to Modernize Your Terminal?
We’ve spent 43 years building screen systems, and our software supports more than 25,000 screens. Let’s talk about what digital signage for airports could do for your terminal.
Flight times change, gates move and queues build at security and nobody knows why. With digital signage for airports, your team can handle all of this from one dashboard, and every screen in the terminal updates from there.
MRG Systems has been building screen systems in the UK for 43 years. LiveSpace is our own software, and it now runs more than 25,000 connected screens. Our UK team builds it, installs it and looks after it. Want to see how it would work in your terminal? Book a demo or start a free trial.
Why airports need screens that update in real time
A printed sign is wrong the minute something changes, and in an airport something always changes. Delays, gate swaps, cancellations, bad weather. Screens that update by themselves get the news to passengers faster. Fewer people will queue at the desk to ask the same question, too.
The same problem shows up all along the journey. Digital signage for travel has to work at rail stations, coach stops and ports as well, because everyone is asking the same two things: where do I go, and is something wrong? Airports are the busiest version of this, so digital signage for airports needs proper planning.
Where screens work best in the terminal
Put screens where people stop and look for answers.
- Check-in halls: desk info and queue updates
- Security: waiting times and what to have ready
- Departure lounges and gates: boarding updates and gate changes
- Baggage reclaim: belt numbers and ground transport
- Arrivals: directions to taxis, buses and car hire
- Shops, cafes and restaurants: offers and menus
Outdoor screens at car parks and drop-off zones can run on the same platform too. Every area can show its own content. A delay notice at the gate, a breakfast menu in the cafe, directions at arrivals. You manage all of it from one place. That's the real benefit of digital signage for airports. One system to update, not a bunch of separate screens that each need looking after.
What LiveSpace does for your airport
LiveSpace is our cloud-based signage software. We built it ourselves and our UK team supports it, so when you call, you talk to people who work on it every day.
With LiveSpace you can:
- manage every screen and location from one dashboard
- schedule content ahead of time, or change it in seconds
- connect live data feeds so screens update on their own
- see how your content is doing with analytics and audience insights
Real-time updates matter most when plans go wrong. If a flight is delayed, the right message reaches the right screens straight away. Nobody has to walk around sticking up a printed notice. And when things get back to normal, the message comes down just as fast.
Because LiveSpace runs in the cloud, it suits a small regional airport with a few screens, and it suits a big site with several buildings. Start small, add screens later. It also covers digital signage for travel at train stations, bus terminals and ports, so a transport group can run all its sites together.
Using the flight and operations data you already have
Most airports already hold the information passengers need. The hard part is getting it onto screens without someone typing it all again. LiveSpace takes in live data feeds, so what passengers see changes when your data changes.
Any good plan for digital signage for airports starts with the systems you already use. Got a flight information display system or an airport operational database? Tell us in your free consultation and we'll look at how it can feed into LiveSpace. It's also a good time to agree on disruption messages. What should show up, on which screens, and who approves it.
Easy to read, and always on
People read signs in a hurry, often with bags in their hands. So screens need to be clear at a glance. Short wording, strong contrast. We help you plan layouts so the most important message is the first thing people see.
Reliability matters just as much. A blank screen at a busy time is a real problem. We give same-day support and proactive monitoring from our Gloucestershire headquarters, plus regular platform updates. Digital signage for airports works best when somebody is watching it.
Digital signage for travel beyond the terminal
Passengers still need information once they leave the airport doors. The same set-up works for digital signage for travel at rail stations, coach terminals, ports and transport depots. If you run different kinds of sites, one platform keeps your messages and your look the same everywhere. More on our [transport and logistics page].
Who we work with
Farnborough Airport is one of the 100+ organisations working with MRG Systems. On a different type of site, Places Leisure swapped posters and leaflets for more than 43 LiveSpace screens. They saw a 60 percent increase in engagement across 100,000 members.

- Solution design - We plan the hardware, content, and LiveSpace set-up for your site.

Why choose MRG Systems?
MRG Systems has been building display and information systems since 1983. We have worked in several sectors, including transport and travel. That experience helps us work out what should be on your screens, how to show it and how to manage it.
With LiveSpace, we offer a platform to manage connected screens, schedule content and work with supported data feeds. We start from what you need. We don't assume every airport wants the same thing. When we plan digital signage for airports, we can talk about your current screens, the systems you use and the changes you want. Then we help you look at the options and plan something that fits.
