Split-flap displays for airports & aviation

The original split-flap
was built for airports.

We started building airport information systems in 1998. The split‑flap departure board is where this product began. Gate information, flight status, terminal announcements — on any screen, at a fraction of the cost.

A real mechanical split‑flap board starts at $15,000. Split‑Flap TV works on the screen you already own — less than $25/month.

The problem

Modern airports lost something when they replaced the boards.

The Solari departure board did not just display information — it created an experience. Travellers gathered around it, waited for it to flip, felt the anticipation. Today’s LED screens are efficient but sterile. Retailers, lounges, FBOs, and smaller airports are bringing the split‑flap aesthetic back — without the $15,000 mechanical board. Split‑Flap TV was built by the same company that spent 25 years building airport information systems. This is our home ground.

What to display

What airports and aviation businesses display.

Departure & arrival board

Gate numbers, flight codes, status — flipping in authentic Solari style. Perfect for boutique terminals and private aviation.

Lounge announcements

Boarding calls, gate changes, and lounge closing times in a format that gets read — not ignored like a generic LED ticker.

Retail & F&B offers

Airport retailers and cafes use the board to display duty-free offers, grab-and-go specials, and last-minute deals.

Terminal wayfinding

Gate directions, security queue times, and terminal maps displayed in the split‑flap format travellers instinctively trust.

FBO & private terminal info

Fuel status, handling schedules, crew briefing times — reflecting the quality of a premium private aviation experience.

Weather & forecast

Live weather conditions and forecast for pilots and crew. Integrated automatically — no manual updates required.

“We built our first airport information system in 1998. Split‑Flap TV is what that experience looks like when it is accessible to everyone.”
