SATS and SIAEC begin autonomous bus trials at Changi Airport in Q3

The initiative aims to boost airside productivity by automating driving tasks.

SATS unit, SATS Airport Services, and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to start a proof of concept (POC) on using autonomous buses to transport airport staff around Changi Airport’s airside.

The POC, commencing in Q3, will validate the self-driving capabilities of the autonomous bus to gain confidence in its operational and safety performance.

The parties will conduct the POC in two phases: the first in a sterile environment and the second in a live operational environment.

The two-year collaboration was co-funded under the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)’s Aviation Development Fund (ADF).

The collaboration is part of Changi Airport’s effort to automate routine driving tasks to improve airside manpower productivity and present opportunities for job redesign and upskilling.
