The Dipartiment tal-Informazzjoni has shared a nostalgic look back at a time when flight information was created with nothing more than paint, brushes, and a steady hand.

Long before digital screens and automated boards became the standard, airport schedule displays were carefully hand-painted by skilled workers who treated each update like a piece of art.

Every letter, number, and destination required precision, patience, and a sense of pride, ensuring that travellers received clear and accurate information at a glance.

The throwback photo highlights the level of craftsmanship that went into something we now take for granted. Today, flight details change instantly with a click. However, this reminder offers a glimpse into a more hands-on era, when the human touch shaped the travel experience.

What a throwback!
