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.
