What is BindiMaps and how does it work at Sunshine Coast Airport?

BindiMaps is a digital accessible wayfinding solution that uses Bluetooth beacons and smartphone sensors to provide text, map view, or audio directions to guide passengers through the airport. Sunshine Coast Airport became Australia's first airport to install this technology, which offers real-time, step-by-step navigation to help passengers reach any destination within the terminal.

Who was BindiMaps designed for and why is it important?

BindiMaps was designed with input from hundreds of users who are blind or vision-impaired to ensure the highest levels of accessibility and inclusivity. The technology is particularly beneficial for passengers and visitors with visual impairments, allowing them to navigate the airport terminal with greater ease, accuracy, and confidence from arrival to departure.

How many passengers does Sunshine Coast Airport serve annually?

Sunshine Coast Airport serves 1.62 million annual passengers and has installed BindiMaps as part of its goal to become one of Australia's most accessible airports and help passengers seamlessly navigate its facilities.
