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.

“One of our big initiatives in 2008 is to use technology to make travel more convenient. Looking ahead we want a higher penetration of self-service devices like web check-in and airport kiosks.” (Scott Kirby, President, US Airways)
