Ink Innovation is deploying the company’s Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS) at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport in Para, Suriname.
The rollout is delivered in partnership with Wintel N.V., Ink’s exclusive local partner in Suriname. The project will see the airport integrating a modern, shared infrastructure platform that integrates directly with airline Departure Control Systems (DCS) operating across the newly renovated terminal.
Airport Management Ltd. is the sole operator of Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport and has been working to align the airport with international standards and prepare for long-term passenger growth. The adoption of Ink CUPPS represents a significant step in that digital roadmap, streamlining check-in and boarding operations while creating a scalable foundation for future passenger touchpoints.
Vijay Chotkan, CEO, Airport Management Ltd commented: “With the deployment of Ink CUPPS at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, we are establishing the core foundation of our passenger touchpoints from curb side to aircraft side door. Our partnership with Wintel N.V. has allowed us to introduce Ink’s ‘Fit for Purpose’ technology that significantly advances our current operating environment, ensuring a more efficient and enjoyable travel experience for all passengers.”
The rollout is already in progress, the companies say, with Sky High Dominicana already migrated and using CUPPS, and FlyAllWays has completed CUPPS certification and is operational on the platform. GOL, Copa Airlines, Caribbean Airlines, KLM, and Surinam Airways are in the certification pipeline.
“Integrating with the Ink CUPPS platform was straightforward and well-supported,” Natasha Abdulhak, CCO, FlyAllWays commented.
“Our agents were up and running quickly, and the shared-counter flexibility has made a real difference in our day-to-day operations at Suriname Airport. We’d recommend it to any airline looking to simplify their ground handling setup.”
