CUTE LAB

Replicates all technical constellations in Lufthansa's worldwide passenger handling operations

 

The CUTE Lab of Lufthansa Systems in Raunheim (near Frankfurt) provides a system landscape that is unique in the world. CUTE stands for Common Use Terminal Equipment. The lab makes it possible to recreate all technical constellations in Lufthansa's passenger handling worldwide and thus to precisely analyze any problems. The team in the CUTE Lab can identify disruptions in passenger handling at an early stage and ensure that they are remedied remotely.
