Airport evacuations happen, but evacuation-level emergencies are among the most chaotic things that can happen at an airport. We are grateful our Emergency Messaging solution was included in Airports International’s recent article, Airport Evacuation: Keeping Travellers Safe, covering how airports can keep passengers calm and safe in an emergency.

Understanding Airport Evacuation Challenges
The article, written by Mark Broadbent, highlights the critical importance of airport evacuation procedures in ensuring passenger safety during emergencies. It underscores the challenges and complexities airports face in managing airport evacuations, emphasizing the need for meticulous planning and clear communication.
Key Factors in Emergency Airport Evacuations
As Richard Duncan, a seasoned consultant in critical incident management, states in the article, airport evacuations require careful consideration of various factors, including the nature of the incident, evacuation protocols, and communication strategies. At Synect, we understand the gravity of these challenges and have developed innovative solutions to address them.

It also lets airports deploy messages with precision, to an entire airport, one or more terminals, and various areas and subgroups of displays.
Benefits of Effective Visual Communication in Emergencies
"For any visual communication program to be successful, especially one as critical as evacuation-related emergency messaging, airports need a system with effective content, flexible distribution, and the agility to react to real-time airport events," said Synect CEO Yahav Ran.
