The use of ACUS implies that airlines can use this platform from a desktop computer, laptop or mobile phone and help passengers’ ‘ check-ins and boarding passes to be printed from any location within the airport premises.
Passenger processing can be done by ground handlers for multiple airlines simultaneously from any gate, terminal and from any device.
The use of the technology will also simplify user training, thereby allowing rapid deployment of new employees.
The technology is said to be an environmentally-friendly platform that will help Perth airport in reducing carbon emissions and improve its environmental footprint.
ACUS technology is in line with Perth Airport’s overall infrastructural makeover of A$1bn ($708m).
