TRAVELLERS can now publicly share SMS messages such as "we'll miss you", "goodbye" and "welcome home" on two large digital screens at Brisbane Airport.
The airport is the first in Australia to introduce the LED screens in the international departures terminal.
The personal messages will be displayed between 7.30am and 11am each day.
Shops at the airport can also target Chinese and Korean tourists with bilingual advertisements timed to flight schedules on the screens.
Local and international weather forecasts will also be displayed.
A Brisbane Airport spokeswoman said messages had to be in English and there were no guarantees that all messages sent would be displayed.
She said passengers should check the cost to send the SMS messages with their mobile phone carrier.
