Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS)

The Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) project will result in an overhaul of the Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE) Standard which was last updated in 1994.  The work is being done by collaborative groups of airlines, airports and vendors.  Furthermore, the standard has been unanimously adopted by the International Air Transport Associate (IATA), the Air Transport Association (ATA), and Airports Council International (ACI).
