AirAsia India evaluating fuel savings from using taxibot on two modified aircraft

AirAsia India is evaluating how much fuel it has been able to save by using taxibot — an equipment which enables airplane taxing without engines running — on two modified planes before considering to use it across the aircraft fleet, a top executive said on Sunday.

After modifying two of its A320 aircraft, AirAsia India had on November 23 last year started using taxibot to tow them at the Delhi international airport.
