Rockwell Collins has won a contract from International Airlines Group to provide its common use passenger processing platform (CUPPS) for Terminal 7 (T7) at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in the US.

Once installed, the CUPPS solution will replace the terminal’s current check-in technology.

Used by more than ten major international carriers, the ARINC vMUSE solution is said to enhance check-in experiences for passengers and their baggage.

"Terminal 7 is a premier location for flights into and out of the US."

Under the agreement, Rockwell Collins will also supply its ARINC AviNet network and message solution, which enhances communications regarding flight operation and aircraft maintenance at airports.

Rockwell Collins airport systems sales head Paul Hickox said: “JFK is the busiest international airport gateway into the US and Terminal 7 is a premier location for flights into and out of the US.

“ARINC vMUSE provides the type of services—like a fast and convenient check-in experience – that international travellers have come to expect from the world’s leading airports.”

In a separate development, Rockwell Collins has won a contract to provide its ARINC vMUSE solution to Mandalay International Airport (MDL) in Myanmar.
