Last week, Frédéric Van Oost from Smart Airport Systems, had the privilege of joining Sangita Sharma from Delta Air Lines on a panel at the 2025 Aviation Technology Forum in Sacramento (USA), organized by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). 🎙️

Our discussion focused on Sustainable Aircraft Taxiing where we explored the opportunities and challenges of implementing the TaxiBot — an innovative, pilot-controlled vehicle that enables aircraft to taxi without using their main engines.

A key takeaway was the real-world field experience of TaxiBot operations at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport – AMS and JFK Airport, demonstrating its potential to significantly reduce ground emissions and fuel consumption.

The conversation underscored the importance of collaboration among airlines, airports, ATC, and regulators to unlock the full potential of sustainable Aircraft taxiing. With the support of California Air Resources Board / South Coast Air Quality Management District and other key stakeholders, this technology can be a game-changer for net-zero ground operations in California!

Excited to see these innovations shaping the future of aviation! ✈️🌍

Smart Airport Systems is pleased to confirm that it will be joining Alvest Group sister companies TLD, Alvest Equipment Services (AES), Sage Parts and TractEasy at next months highly anticipated inter airport South East Asia.

Smart Airport Systems joined last weeks ‘Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit 2025’ where Frederic Van Oost took part in the round table discussion on ‘Operation Decarbonisation’.

One of the key takeaways from this important aviation event was the ability for SAS to highlight real-world examples of the TaxiBot solution being used in various locations, including Schiphol Airport, where its mission to reduce noise pollution and UFP (ultra fine particles) whilst increasing fuel savings is well documented.

The event was highly successful and offered a great opportunity to emphasise the importance of the innovative TaxiBot solution and its key importance in the world of sustainable aircraft taxiing.

Smart Airport Systems would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our employees, customers, partners and their families a very prosperous Year of the Snake.

We hope 2025 is filled with happiness and good health.

Smart Airport Systems is proud to see the first KLM passenger flight brought to the Polderbaan Runway using the Taxibot — a major step forward in reducing emissions and improving sustainability at Schiphol Airport!

The Taxibot allows aircraft to taxi without running their engines, saving fuel and significantly cutting CO₂ emissions. This is part of a larger effort to make Schiphol quieter, cleaner, and more sustainable, aligning with our goal of reducing aviation’s environmental impact.

A huge thank you to  Royal Schiphol Group, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LVNL, and all the partners involved in making this vision a reality! We’re excited to be part of this pioneering journey toward greener skies.
