Airport industry body outlines transition plan for CUSS 2 self-service standard
A new generation of common use self-service technology, CUSS 2, is being introduced to let multiple airlines share self-service resources on a more flexible, web-native foundation. Existing airline applications will continue to work during the transition.
Airports and airlines now have guidance on moving to CUSS 2, the next generation of common use self-service technology, according to an industry explainer. The standard's aim is unchanged: letting several carriers share self-service resources efficiently.
The underlying technology is what changes. CUSS 2 is described as built on a more flexible, secure and web-native foundation.
The shift is presented as gradual. Existing airline applications will not stop working once the new standard arrives, the source states, and the guidance frames the move as building on systems already in use rather than replacing them outright.
