Check-in Service

Our comprehensive check-in service provide airlines with access to the latest, most efficient systems for: Scanning identity documents and passports, Seat selection and Checking in passengers and baggage.


Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE)

CUTE has been implemented to ensure efficient utilisation of check-in equipment at an airport by multiple airlines off a common platform. It is used by check-in agents to facilitate check-in for flights at a counter. Benefits In 2006 self‐service kiosks were introduced at the 9 ACSA airports. Over the years the kiosks have had some hardware and software improvements and functionality additions, but the kiosk largely remained a check‐in and boarding pass device. During a process of consultation with airlines it was agreed that additional self‐service kiosks be requested and expand the functionality.

There are three types of kiosks in place
 • CUSS kiosks
 • Web kiosks

Common Use Self Service (CUSS)

CUSS allows passengers to check in at self-service kiosks, without assistance from airline or airport personnel.
