CUSS
Passengers and airlines appreciate the opportunity to both check in simply and save time, and consequently use the offer often.
Depending on the airline, passengers can change their seats themselves and check in for several flight routes at the same time.
3. BRTS
The BRTS application is connected to the baggage sorting equipment and enables a comparison to be made between baggage and passenger and informs the loader whether or not to load the baggage. At the same time, the system sends a message to the relevant DCS of the airline with the loading status of the baggage. The system supports various loading strategies, such as different ULDs pro class, destination or terminals at destination.
A robust hand scanner with the company’s symbol is used as a peripheral device. This communicates with the main computer via WLAN. This enables reconciliations both in the sorting hall and on the apron.
