What is Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS)?
Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) is a globally accepted standard introduced by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which describes the range of services, specifications, and standards enacted to enable multiple airlines, service providers, or other users to share physical check-in or gate podium positions whether simultaneously or consecutively. In tradition, each airline would have its specific check-in desks and technical systems, whereas, with CUPPS, the airlines and other airport stakeholders easily share the same equipment.
Benefits of Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) at Airports
Considering the evolving needs in air travel, there are several concerns for airports regarding security, capacity & time management, and operation costs. It is highly beneficial to offer a seamless passenger experience with secure and affordable solutions.
Common use technology plays a crucial role in overcoming these challenges with shared use of airport facilities approach and integrated applications that bring flexibility for stakeholders. Airports, airlines, and ground handlers can benefit from reducing operational and capital expenditure by using common-use systems.
