Amadeus introduced the ‘Airport Common Use Service’ (ACUS) to key stakeholders in the Indian aviation industry at India’s first Common Use Roundtable, an event hosted by Amadeus and Bird Group. ACUS allows check in facility from anywhere. The architecture of Amadeus ACUS allows ‘fixed’ check-in counters to be rapidly redeployed anywhere within the terminal, and to ‘off airport’ locations, to enable the airport to access additional passenger capacity on demand to meet short notice or seasonal fluctuations.
Sarah Samuel, Head of Airport IT, Asia Pacific of Amadeus says, “The rapid growth of passengers traveling in India means airports are under a lot pressure. Now more than ever, they need to think differently to provide the service expected by consumers…Our platform has enabled the airport ecosystem to use its resources more intelligently, ultimately improving the passenger experience and taking the next step towards becoming the airport of the future. We look forward to working with airports in India and establishing a place for ACUS in the market place.”
Rajesh Suri, EVP, Business Development, Bird Group shared “Airports and airlines around the world are looking at how new technologies and solutions can improve passenger experience and operations throughout the airport. Behind the scenes and in front of the passenger, we are pleased to introduce ACUS to India. It is indeed a milestone moment for us as we demonstrate our commitment to offer best-in-class solutions to our business partners across the Indian subcontinent”.
Not only does ACUS provide more flexiblity in operations and reduced passenger processing costs for airlines, it also delivers substantial energy savings reducing the overall CO2 emissions of airports. Already implemented in over 30 destinations across the globe, ACUS is a highly competitive solution.
