Glasgow selects UltraCUSE

The Glasgow CUTE Club has selected Ultra Electronics Airport Systems to provide its UltraCUSE Passenger Processing check-in and boarding system at Glasgow International Airport, Scotland's biggest airport.  

Ultra Electronics Airport Systems will deploy the UltraCUSE passenger system at over 130 common check-in and boarding locations. By delivering a complete "common use" environment, UltraCUSE enables airport resources to operate more efficiently. It permits the workstations and peripherals in Terminals 1 & 2 to be shared by many airlines, with clear cost benefits to an airport that handled just under 10 million passengers last year.

In addition to deploying the UltraCUSE system, Ultra Electronics Airport Systems will also provide the helpdesk and second level support as part of a fully managed service provided by the on-site support team.

Lesley Muir, the Chair of the GLA CUTE Club, said "We were confident with the selection of Ultra Electronics Airport Systems after a hard fought competitive tender process.  Deploying the UltraCUSE system will allow the airlines operating at Glasgow Airport to continue their growth with minimal impact and cost efficiencies, whilst providing us with leading edge technology and first class support."

The contract signals a further step in the increasing growth of the UltraCUSE system, following recent successful installations at airports in North and South America, Russia, China, Middle East and Europe.  The mission at Ultra is to continue to be aggressive in offering UltraCUSE to become the "Real Alternative" within the Common Use market.

Graeme Stacey, Ultra Electronics Airport Systems Managing Director said "Having GLA CUTE Club select the UltraCUSE system resulting from a competitive tender, and being selected to replace the incumbent represents the confidence within the airline and airport community in the UltraCUSE service."
