ARINC vMUSE CUPPS allows airlines to process travellers at any workstation or boarding gate at an airport.

CGN Passenger Services and Operations manager Jochen Gortz said: "The implementation of ARINC vMUSE will be used by our entire airport community.

"ARINC vMUSE meets the latest IATA standards today, and ensures we are ready to handle new requirements coming in the future.

"In addition, ARINC vMUSE allows airlines to share workstations, reducing costs and making the best use of our airport’s existing infrastructure."
