Air India to save 15000 tonnes of jet fuel in 3 years with TaxiBot operations at Delhi and Bengaluru airports
PUNE: Air India has signed an agreement with KSU Aviation to launch TaxiBot operations at Delhi and Bengaluru airports for its Airbus A320 aircrafts, its officials said on Thursday.
The strategic partnership is aligned with Air India’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, as the adoption of TaxiBots envisages a potential saving of 15,000 tonnes in fuel consumption over three years.
A semi-robotic equipment, the TaxiBot, once attached to the aircraft, acts as an extension of the aircraft’s nose landing gear.
