It is part of efforts to improve productivity at the airport through automation.

The autonomous buses will be used at the airside so airside workers do not have to perform routine driving tasks and can focus on more complex activities.

The idea is to use autonomous buses at the airside, which is the part of the airport where the loading and unloading of aircraft, as well as take-offs and landings, take place. This is so airside workers do not have to perform routine driving tasks and can focus on more complex activities. In the trial’s second phase, the self-driving bus will be tested in a live operational environment alongside non-autonomous vehicles.CAG, SIAEC and Sats did not provide more details about the trial, but images provided by Sats indicate the bus will likely be supplied by Chinese commercial vehicle brand Skywell.
