New Delhi, April 22nd, 2025: Çelebi Aviation, a global leader in ground handling, cargo operations and offering sustainable airport solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in its sustainability journey through the successful deployment of Taxibots across Bengaluru and Delhi. Taxibots are towbarless aircraft tractors that are fully automated. Unlike traditional methods, where aircraft engines are used to taxi from the gate to the runway, these TaxiBots provide an eco-friendly alternative by towing the aircraft without the need to use the aircraft's own engines. These state-of-the-art, semi-robotic aircraft towing systems have led to a reduction of over 1,137 tons of aviation fuel (ATF) consumption, eliminating more than 3,500 tons of CO₂ emissions while saving over 427 hours of ground time for airlines and also saving 1429 hours of engine time for aircrafts, which translates into significant financial benefits and sustainable solutions for airline partners.
