 The Arinc vMUSE platform is fully compliant with the IATA CUPPS standard for common-use passenger systems.

Arinc is working in partnership with Aviation Information Technology (AVIT), a subsidiary of the Egyptian holding company for airports and air navigation. Under the contract, Arinc will procure, build and install the core common use passenger processing systems (CUPPS) and provide remote third level support while AVIT will handle first and second level support. The contract includes an aggressive 14 week delivery and implementation schedule for all systems to all five airports by the end of May 2013 of which the team is on plan to meet.


“Egyptian Airports Company (EAC) airports have been experiencing strong growth for several years,” said Dr. Ashraf Zaki, the airport company. “We believe that Arinc is an ideal partner to handle our continued expansion given their industry-leading technology and the tremendous airport experience they bring to the table, both globally and here in the Middle East.”
Tony Lynch, Arinc’s regional director for the Middle East and Africa said: “We have developed strong relationships in Egypt based on our excellent track record in delivering key projects such as Cairo Airport TB3 and Seasonal Terminal. We are pleased to be selected for these five airports and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”
The vMUSE system maximizes airport operations by eliminating software engineering and development costs—giving smaller and mid-sized airports much more flexibility to upgrade their operations.
