THE dutch aviation sector has presented demissionary minister of Infrastructure and Water management Barbara Visser with a roadmap to reduce fuel consumption of taxiing and CO2, nitrogen, and (ultra-fine) particulate matter significantly at Schiphol, reports Belgium's Aviation24.be
The plan aims to make sustainable taxiing standard procedure at Schiphol by 2030 at the latest.
The first step involves deploying two special aircraft towing vehicles for a follow-up pilot study at Schiphol in mid-2022.
Many of these modifications are new to the aviation sector, and Schiphol is the first airport that wants to introduce sustainable taxiing on a large scale.
The airport drafted the roadmap with Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL), KLM, Transavia, Corendon Dutch Airlines and ground handling agents dnata, and KLM Ground Services.
Two Smart Airport Systems towing vehicles deemed TaxiBot will come to Schiphol for a follow-up pilot study that will see several aircraft taxis to and from the Polderbaan sustainably in mid-2022.
Studies have shown that sustainable taxiing at Schiphol uses 50 per cent less fuel and reduces CO2, nitrogen, and (ultrafine) particulate matter.
These fuel savings can reach up to 65 per cent when taxiing to and from the Polderbaan Runway.
