Sirena-Travel CJSC received a certificate of compatibility of self check-in kiosks for passengers and baggage registration system (DCS) Astra with IER CUSS- platform. It should be noted, that there are no similar domestic developments in Russia.
CUSS stands for Common Use Self-Service. It is a shared kiosk offering convenient passenger check-in whilst allowing multiple airlines to maintain branding and functionality. As kiosks can be located throughout the airport, congestion is alleviated and passenger flow improved.
Earlier kiosk application DCS "Astra" was also certified for operation with CUSS-platform SITA. The new multi-companies version of Astra DCS (Departure Control System) allows airports to provide the passengers check-in service for flights of airlines , serving at the airport the "Astra" DCS, without installation of check-in kiosk application for each airlines.
The new, multi-companies Astra DCS application provides the possibility to identify the passenger by different methods. In particular, it has implemented a functional readout for 2D-codes on the itinerary receipt or on the boarding pass. Besides, there are extended languages settings - 2 languages (automatically - Russian and English) , 4 languages (optionally) - at the choice of airline.
After the completion of the certification, which will be confirmed by the global release of SITA, in each airport, where are SITA CUSS kiosks installed and arrangements of flights are proceeded in DCS Astra, airlines can be connected to the kiosks through a new multi-companies version of "Astra".
