Aurrigo International, a provider of autonomous vehicles and software, has been granted a licence to provide Ground Handling Services at East Midlands Airport. The licence grants Aurrigo the necessary approvals to implement its autonomous technologies and ground service equipment at the airport.
“Securing this licence is another important step in our partnership with East Midlands Airport,” said David Keene MBE, CEO of Aurrigo International. “We have deliberately sought this approval to make sure we can support our partners as closely as possible, operating fully within the airport’s ground handling framework. This means we can be on the ground, providing one-to-one support during the roll-out of our autonomous solutions, ensuring they are seamlessly integrated, compliant, and successful from the outset. Working alongside EMA and other partners, we are shaping the future of airside automation in the UK and beyond.”
“We’re pleased to be working with Aurrigo on this innovative technology that could revolutionise the way goods and crews are moved around the airport,” commented Lauren Turner, East Midlands Airport’s Head of Airfield Operations. “As the UK’s number one hub for dedicated air cargo, we’re always looking at ways to work smarter and ensure the operation is safe, efficient and fit for the future.”
Last month, the CEO of Aurrigo was presented with the Ambassador of the Year Award at the Business Desk West Midlands Awards for his contributions to the region.
