Australia's third-largest airport now runs passenger information across 950 LG displays monitored centrally via LG SuperSign CMS
News Summary
SYDNEY, November 11, 2026 — LG Electronics Australia (LG) has partnered with Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), replacing a previously fragmented digital signage system with a modern network of approximately 950 LG commercial displays centrally managed by LG SuperSign CMS. Covering the domestic and international terminals, baggage handling areas, and car parks, these LG screens deliver real-time flight information displays (FIDS), gate information, passenger wayfinding, and operational communications reliably across a 24/7 environment.
As Australia’s third largest airport preparing for a forecasted surge in passenger numbers ahead of the major event in 2032, Brisbane Airport needed to replace an increasingly unreliable, ageing network with a simplified, scalable solution that its lean ICT team could operate day-to-day.
"The reliability of the displays is essential. Without them working, people are lost — quite literally," says Michael Kerr, Integrated Operations Manager at BAC.
To address these critical demands, LG worked alongside local integrator Programmed to deploy a centralised digital signage network driven by LG SuperSign CMS. The platform provides ICT and operations teams with comprehensive visibility across the entire display fleet remotely, replacing an otherwise manual process of physical, daily check-ups.
"LG SuperSign has been a game changer for my team. We just don't have the arms and legs to go around and check those 950 screens on a daily basis. The monitoring capabilities really give us that eyes-on view of what's across our infrastructure," says Anthony Tully-Smith, ICT Applications Manager at BAC.
One system, diverse displays
BAC’s new estate involves a range of LG display solutions tailored to specific passenger zones. This includes:
With LG's embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) platform and internal web page player, real-time flight information and content now plays directly on the screens. This removes the need for external media players, simplifying the network architecture.
"We've taken what was a fragmented digital signage system, not very visible to management, now to an integrated modern solution with centralised management and health visibility,” says Graham Wands, Business Development Manager at Programmed. “LG SuperSign enables us to take a proactive stance and make sure that the FIDS and other signage is highly available and always visible to passengers.”
Built for critical infrastructure
As a privately owned critical infrastructure operator, BAC needed full control of its content. LG SuperSign CMS is deployed on-premise to meet the airport's security and operational-control requirements. LG's device hardening helps reduce the risk of unauthorised content, such as USB sideloading.
The project also supports the airport's ESG goals; LG UH series screens carry Carbon Trust footprint-reduction certification, LG offers a free e-waste program, and power consumption can be monitored and optimised from LG SuperSign CMS.
"At an airport, a screen is only as useful as the information on it, and how quickly someone knows when it stops working. Brisbane Airport shows what happens when displays and management software are planned together as operational infrastructure, with a local integrator who knows the site. We're grateful to Brisbane Airport and Programmed for the partnership, and we look forward to supporting the airport as it grows," says Chris Wilson, Sales General Manager – Information Display at LG Electronics Australia.
Looking ahead
BAC sees LG as a long-term partner as it progresses its $5 billion Future BNE transformation, paving the way for the expansion of Terminal 3 and more LED and messaging capabilities ahead of the 2032 games. By transitioning from a fragmented legacy setup, BAC has unlocked a foundation built for long-term operational efficiency.
“For me, managing an ageing infrastructure before we moved to the new LG digital displays was costing us quite a lot from a maintenance and an ongoing perspective,” says Tully-Smith, “The move to the new LG SuperSign, but also the new LG screens, has driven down my operational cost significantly across the airport.”
This newfound efficiency has helped BAC focus on what’s most critical - passenger experience.
"It's important for us to have a partner like LG. The innovation and the fresh thought that team brings has really helped me accelerate the digital experience across all of our terminals," says Tully-Smith.
