More than 60 airports and dozens of airlines — including several international carriers — have implemented Russian-developed aviation software, according to a report by Izvestia citing the office of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko.

The systems now in use include CUTE, which powers airport check-in counters, BAGS search for baggage tracking, and ticket reservation platforms.

Russia has also developed a secure communications system that enables airlines, airports, and government agencies to exchange messages without using the open internet. To date, 63 Russian airports, six foreign airports, and over 50 airlines — 33 of them international — have connected to the service.

Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin emphasized that sovereign software is a critical step toward reducing Russian civil aviation’s dependence on external factors. “It is extremely important for domestic aviation enterprises to have homegrown solutions that can support and manage the numerous processes involved in air transport,” he said.

Nikitin added that the development and rollout of specialized aviation software is progressing successfully, with new information systems in the pipeline to address specific industry needs.
