easyJet and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport are today announcing the rollout of electronic TaxiBot technology for Airbus aircraft operations at Schiphol, following a successful trial earlier this year. The introduction marks another step in easyJet’s ongoing strategy to improve operational efficiency and reduce emissions both in the air and on the ground. TaxiBot, funded by the SESAR project HERON**, is a semi-robotic, push-pull-free aircraft tractor that enables aircraft to taxi between the gate and runway without using their main jet engines. Instead, the aircraft operates using only its Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), significantly reducing fuel burn, CO₂ emissions and noise during ground operations.
