LONDON — The United Kingdom's Bristol International airport is switching to SITA's AirportConnect common use terminal equipment open IT platform.

According to a news release, the platform includes self-service check-in kiosks designed to handle anywhere from 6 million to 9 million passengers. SITA has reportedly already started work on its five-year, $2 million project, which will bring CUTE to the airport.

The project involves the deployment of 58 CUTE work stations and eight common use self-service check-in kiosks. The kiosks also support Web check-in and are equipped with passport and visa readers.
