// IATA · CUSS 2 Informative Session · 9:00 AM ET, Mon May 11

Why this matters now

The soft transition is here.
The cutover is coming.

IATA's CUSS 2.0 specification (RP 1706c) is now the global standard for airport self-service. We're in the soft-transition phase — vendor-by-vendor CUSS 2 mandates are already starting; full cutover and the formal sunset of CUSS 1.x come next. Every airport and every airline still on CUSS 1.x has to migrate.

01

Born Digital

OpenAPI and WebSockets replace CORBA/IDL. Standard web tooling, true cross-platform compatibility, no proprietary middleware.

02

Zero-Trust Security

Mandatory TLS 1.2+ encryption and OAuth 2.0 authentication baked into the protocol itself. No more perimeter-trust assumptions.

03

Rapid Deployment

Hardware decoupled from software. Web-first apps cut integration overhead ~40% and ship the same day they're written.

What we're offering

Two ways to get on CUSS 2 — without the cost.

Cut directly to the migration. Pick the offer that fits — both are free, both are limited, both are real.

OFFER 01 · CONVERSION

Bring your CUSS 1 app to CUSS 2.

We'll convert your existing CUSS 1 application to a fully RP 1706c-compliant CUSS 2 application — at no cost — for early carriers on the waitlist.

  • Free conversion for qualified airlines
  • Code-level translation, not a wrapper
  • Limited capacity, first-come basis

OFFER 02 · PLATFORM

Run our CUSS 2 platform on the hardware you already own.

If you operate your own kiosks — as an airline running a self-service fleet, or as an airport ready to swap an aging platform vendor — we'll deploy the Elevation CUSS 2 Platform on your existing hardware. No platform fee.

  • For airlines running their own kiosk fleets
  • For airports replacing an incumbent platform vendor
  • Hardware-agnostic. Keep your fleet, change the brain.
