Terminal 3, a large circular area of ticket counters, had its own challenges.

"One of the trickiest parts of the installation is that terminal 3 is built with mostly glass walls, including half the ceiling, so the light level is unusually high," says Wismer. "The characteristics of the plasma panels, particularly the anti-glare and high contrast made them ideal for that application."

Terminal 3 supports airline carriers that do not require a permanent check-in counter, so the GTAA needed to provide sophisticated technology to support shared counter space with the immediacy and flexibility to accommodate flight schedules. To complete the job, consulting company SITA developed an integrated and highly efficient solution using 300 of NEC's 42PD designed landscape style to display airline identification.

"Terminal 3 had many unique requirements," said Bob Moleti, Project Manager, SITA. "Not only did we need the display solution to be flexible enough to work with SITA’s Airport Vision system to change information instantly, we also needed a bright, light-weight, and modern looking display."

A total of 372 plasma screens have been purchased from NEC for the Toronto Airport.

"Not only do the NEC plasma displays look great, but they are also improving the airport’s over-all customer service," said Wismer. "The new FIDS can display flight information for 125 flights simultaneously, which means travelers are kept well informed about any flight changes."
