The multi-year partnership with CAG provides an opportunity for the further development of Aurrigo's autonomous ground-handling solutions at Changi Airport and demonstrations to showcase the technology to other airports and stakeholders. 

"We have worked closely with the team at Changi for several years and this partnership cements our collaboration to bring the best automated solutions to airlines and airports, enabling them to improve efficiency, safety and sustainability," said David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo, a Coventry-based transport technology company.

The partnership follows on from the agreement with CAG announced on 28 October 2022, for the next phase of development of Aurrigo's Auto-Dolly. 

The development and testing of Aurrigo's autonomous vehicles is partially funded by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) through its Aviation Development Fund (ADF).

"Similar to major airports throughout the world, recruiting enough ground handling personnel and drivers to support our growth is a challenge,” said Poh Li San, SVP of Terminal 5 Planning, CAG. “We have been encouraged by Aurrigo's innovative autonomous technologies to help address these issues, and we're excited to partner Aurrigo in joint development and testing of these solutions."
