How Westbridge International Airport Used AIScreen to Elevate the Passenger Experience

The Challenge:

WIA relied on outdated, inconsistent signage systems. Flight info, food menus, and emergency alerts were managed separately and often manually, leading to delays, confusion, and operational inefficiencies.

The Solution:

AIScreen unified WIA’s digital communication with one centralized dashboard. Flight updates synced in real time, food vendors updated menus without IT, and emergency alerts reached all terminals in seconds.

The Outcome:

Passenger satisfaction scores related to airport signage and wayfinding improved by 18% within six months, based on traveler surveys.
Emergency alert delivery speed increased, with 85% of terminals receiving critical messages in under 15 seconds, enhancing response coordination.
Dining revenue grew by 12% in food court areas using dynamic digital menus and real-time promotions.
IT support tickets concerning digital signage issues dropped by 48% after centralizing management and standardizing hardware.

“Our airport didn’t need louder screens, we needed smarter ones.”

Brian Ryks, Director of Airport Experience

About Westbridge International Airport

In an airport where timing is everything, even the smallest delay can ripple into a traveler’s entire journey.

At Westbridge International Airport (WIA), the challenge wasn’t just moving planes, it was moving people, clearly and efficiently. With thousands of daily passengers navigating terminals, searching for gates, grabbing a quick bite, or waiting on loved ones, real-time communication had to be flawless.

But for years, WIA was relying on a patchwork of static signs, printed notices, and legacy software that required more updates than it delivered.

That changed when they discovered AIScreen.

A Terminal Full of Moving Parts

WIA has long been ranked among the best airports in North America, but behind the polished exterior were cracks in the system.

Flight information displays often needed manual syncing. Food court menus had no centralized management. Wayfinding kiosks were inconsistent, and emergency messages couldn’t be pushed across terminals in real time.

“We had monitors that worked like bulletin boards,” said the Airport Services Supervisor, Sara Freese. “If someone forgot to update a screen, hundreds of passengers missed the message.”

Worse, each vendor or department used its own setup, meaning IT spent more time fixing compatibility issues than improving systems.

With growing passenger traffic, increasing expectations for digital convenience, and the need for instant updates across all terminals, WIA’s operations team asked:

What if our screens could move as fast as our travelers?

The AIScreen Connection

The answer arrived in the form of a partner introduction. During a digital infrastructure summit, WIA’s Director of Technology Solutions sat in on a session where another airport showcased how they had overhauled their digital signage with AIScreen.

Intrigued by the ease of use, flexibility, and airport-specific templates, the WIA team requested a demo.

“Within minutes, we saw how AIScreen could speak to every screen in our ecosystem, from baggage claim to customs to coffee shops,” the director, Joe Harris, recalled.

“No more jumping between systems. Just one dashboard, real-time control, and total clarity.”

From Gate Signs to Guest Moments

The rollout began with priority areas:

Flight info boards
TSA wait-time screens
Dining directories
Passenger pickup instructions

Using AIScreen, the team implemented automated scheduling tied to flight data. Food vendors received template access to update pricing and promos without IT intervention. Terminal-wide emergency alerts could now be pushed in under 10 seconds.

“Suddenly, we weren’t just reacting,” said the Terminal Operations Manager, Kevin Griffin. “We were orchestrating.”

Even small touches, like rotating local weather updates or welcome screens in multiple languages, added to the sense of care and cohesion that travelers noticed.

The Numbers Behind the Takeoff

The impact of AIScreen at WIA was both measurable and meaningful:

18%

Passenger satisfaction related to digital signage and wayfinding improved by 18%, reflecting smoother navigation and timely information.

85%

Emergency alert delivery times improved dramatically, with 85% of alerts reaching all terminals within 15 seconds, enabling faster coordinated responses.

12%

Dynamic digital menus and promotional displays contributed to a 12% increase in dining revenue across the food court.

48%

Centralized control and streamlined troubleshooting cut IT support tickets for signage issues by nearly half (48%), freeing up resources for other priorities.

Where Innovation Takes Off

Today, WIA continues to expand its use of AIScreen.

From pilot program testing of AI-powered passenger flow displays to sustainability dashboards and multilingual travel tips, the airport is redefining what it means to communicate in motion.

What began as a digital signage upgrade became a passenger experience transformation.

“Our airport didn’t need louder screens, we needed smarter ones,” the Director of Airport Experience, Brian Ryks, said. “AIScreen delivered that. It made our terminals not just look better, but work better.”

And in the world of air travel, that’s the ultimate connection.
