	Who's Who at MCarran International Airport

In our third 'On Location' documentary-style case study we spotlight McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, a trailblazer among U.S. airports in its use of CUTE (common-use terminal equipment). McCarran spent $60 million to deploy CUTE, but in return tenant airlines no longer have to maintain proprietary terminals, passengers get more up-to-date information, and the airport has saved more than $100 million by sharing gates and ticket counters rather than building new facilities. In this issue we'll look at how McCarran's leadership made CUTE a reality and examine other on-tap projects at McCarran, such as a new video-surveillance system, a switch from FDDI to Gigabit Ethernet, and wireless initiatives. Future coverage will include print and online progress reports, and our online forum will allow you to post questions, comments and suggestions.
