Why Select PDC PAS?

PDC’s passenger announcement system offers a flexible architecture. To begin with, it can operate in single-airport mode or scale into a centralised hub. Furthermore, this multi-airport setup allows a single command centre to oversee several locations at the same time, while also optimising staff allocation.

“A fantastic platform that carries data all the way through all our platforms, from FIDS AODB ERP PRM to the new BI module that provides unimaginable reporting possibilities, such as reporting on environmental and noise accounts.”

  • Deliver flight-related messages (boarding calls, delays, cancellations, gate changes). 
  • Broadcast safety and security instructions (evacuation orders, unattended baggage warnings). 
  • Provide commercial messages (duty-free offers, airline lounge invites). 
  • Ensure emergency communication reaches everyone quickly and clearly. 

Your operators can easily switch their way of announcing using PDC PAS. It can work in three modes: 

  • Fully automatic announcement mode – no user intervention required – enables instantaneously flow of information 
  • Semi-automatic mode – the operator makes amendment to the queued message after receiving the information from other system and then sends it out for announcement 
  • Manual mode – the operator strings the messages and sends it out for announcement 

You can use PDC PAS for any automatic passenger announcement at the airport. The package has a lot of features, giving the airport the freedom to adapt the announcements to today’s requirements with a few mouse clicks. 
Pre-define passenger announcements based on airline configuration demands and ensure compliant and accurate announcements. Your customers benefit from flexible airport service and improved passenger experience. 

Your operator can easily create manual gate announcements with PDC PAS. The user interface (UI) and the phrases behind may be defined dynamically. PDC PAS automatically knows which flight is on the gate and the status of the flight – giving the ability for the operator to change the UI to the state of the flights accordingly. 

Connect to different airlines´ databases through a link. Thereby, you can get a list of missing passengers by names and nationality. Your operator can use this list to make general calls for missing passengers in the language of the airport and in the language of the missing passenger. Your operator can also send the list of missing passengers to the PDC FIDS system and run it as a ticker of a separate screen on any monitor in the airport. 

Yes. PDC PAS uses state of the art text to speech technology. For your operators to generate naturally sounding announcements in 26 different languages responding to any change in the underlying real time data.
