SITA CUSS 2 By now, you’ve probably heard plenty of talk about CUSS 2 – the nextdevelopment in Common Use Self-Service. And if it’s left you with morequestions than answers, you’re not alone. Between legacy platforms, different IATA is leading the industry into its next chapter with CUSS 2, supportedby a toolkit and migration plan designed to help airports, airlines and vendorsmove forward in a phased, coordinated way. The goal is simple: reduce Here’s what you need to know – in practical terms. CUSS 2 isn’t a minor upgrade. It’s an entirely new architecture designed to replaceageing technologies and modernize the way Common Use applications are builtand delivered. It’s shaped around clear outcomes: contemporary technologies,stronger security expectations, broader device support, and shorter release cycles And the timing makes sense. Common Use isn’t just check-in anymore.It’s bag drop, self-service, new devices and new touchpoints – all of which needa foundation that can evolve faster, integrate more easily, and stay secure asrequirements change. IATA’s direction with CUSS 2 is to make that evolution possible When is it happening? The key point to land is this: there isn’t a single “switch-over day.” In fact, IATAis explicit that the deprecation of CUSS 1 does not mean airline applicationsimmediately stop functioning - it means no further updates or new functionality IATA’s migration plan lays out phased milestones through 2026: Now:planning, testing and early engagement soft transition begins, with vendors offering CUSS 2 platforms fortesting/certification, and airports able to run a defined period supporting mandate compliance phase (airports may begin requiring CUSS2-compliant apps/platforms) End of 2026:full cutover phase The most useful place to start is alignment.Talk to your internal stakeholdersearly. Talk to your airlines, airport teams and suppliers early. Not to rush amigration, but to reduce uncertainty – so everyone is working from the sameassumptions about what’s changing, what the critical dependencies are, and This is also where the right partnermatters. Because standards don’t What airports and airlines needis a route forward that avoidsduplication, keeps commitmentsstable, and makes the change feel Turning CUSS 2 into something practical and deliverable at scale,without unnecessary disruption. With the industry’s largest Common Use footprint across 400+ airports,SITA is helping customers align, plan, and move at the right pace. Clear communication at every step, from early decisions through Yes, CUSS 2 is a major shift. But it doesn’t need to feel like a cliff edge.With IATA’s phased roadmap – and the right planning and partner –it becomes a steady, workable move forward, ready for the next eraof passenger processing.
