The goal is to promote the use of AVs to improve productivity, allocating staff to where they are most needed on the ramp. The long-term goal for JAL is to focus the workforce on value-added work and increase the number of autonomous baggage tractors to handle repetitive tasks involving long-distance travel.

Advancing New Technological Solutions in Aviation

Common challenges faced by airports like Narita International include:

• High labor costs
• Shortages of drivers
• Low profit margins
• The necessity to stay abreast of technological advancements.

Key stakeholders in aviation must enhance the efficiency of baggage and cargo handling at major airports. By automating these processes, they not only streamline operations but also allocate more time for strategic decision-making, thus boosting overall efficiency.

Annually, around 5,000 luggage tractors are purchased by airports globally, with the largest hubs acquiring hundreds each year. The move towards electrification in this sector is accelerating, with an annual growth rate of approximately 15%. Given the expected rise in air travel and the construction of new airports and terminals over the next two decades, the adoption of TractEasy Autonomous Solutions is essential for sustaining this growth.
