Amsterdam airport gets LED screen
Travellers can currently benefit from an LED screen recently installed in an Amsterdam airport.
Located in Schiphol Airport, the LED screen has been constructed in order for people passing through the airport to send text messages.
The board has been hung above a meeting point in the airport and it is hoped that the screen will help travellers have a hassle-free journey.
Passengers can send text messages to the board at a higher cost than those sent between mobile phones.
Jos den Hartog, business manager for the LED screen provider, said: "If someone is meeting a relative off a plane which is delayed, the passenger can text where and when to meet them and the person meeting them will get the message via the screen.
"Sending a text to the system is a bit more expensive than a normal text message because the airport wants to prevent people like cab drivers putting ads up there."
Last year approximately 47.8 million people passed through the airport.
