Singapore’s Changi Airport is to push ahead with more trials of automated equipment in tandem with U..K autonomous specialist Aurrigo. The pair have announced an expanded formal partnership to develop smart tech aimed at revolutionizing aviation ground handling. Changi is the first airport in the world to test autonomous loading and unloading of ULDs at the aircraft stand. Both Changi and Aurrigo hope that the trials will showcase the technology – and the opportunities it presents – to other airports. Airport ground handling faces several challenges in the aftermath of the pandemic, not least a shortage of staff after many workers left the industry.
