📣 Introducing AIRDAT Beacon: The Right Message, to the Right People, at the Right Time
Eliminate the noise. Beacon is the newest system in the AIRDAT suite, a role-aware airport communications platform that lets operations teams deliver important messages to exactly the right people. Built on the user data already in your AIRDAT account (company, qualifications and permissions), it replaces blanket broadcasts and paper notices with targeted, trackable emails.
🎯 Why we built Beacon
Airport teams face the same challenges every day: irrelevant messages, notification fatigue, and no clear way to confirm that important information was actually received. Beacon fixes that. Targeting people by who they are, not just where they are, and showing you exactly who’s read each message.
“From ideation right the way through to design and development, Beacon has been built with the airport community in mind. Communications is at the heart of airport operations and as part of our research process for Beacon we have directly listened to current airport challenges, responding with a digital-first communications platform that works in partnership with Passport, Onboard and Visa.”

🔗 Airport communications, built into one suite
Like every AIRDAT system, Beacon works because it’s part of one connected ecosystem. There’s no new database to build and no contact list to maintain, your airport communications run on the same AIRDAT account that powers Passport, Onboard and VISA, so your audiences are always current.
🚀 Early Access Programme
Beacon joins AIRDAT Passport, Onboard and VISA as the fourth pillar of AIRDAT. We’ll soon open an Early Access Programme for ops teams that want to explore Beacon first and help shape its development.
