CEO David Gray founded Flight Display Systems in 1999. Two years later, the company premiered its first product, the Flight Display Moving Map, providing a cheaper, more efficient option than anything in the aircraft cabin entertainment market.

After the success of the passenger-accessed moving map, the company expanded its product line to include LCD monitors and audio/video sources including aircraft DVD players, MP3/CD players, and Flight View cameras.

Today, Flight Display Systems has 60 aircraft products with FAA PMA approval.
