Aurrigo International has been awarded a license to provide Ground Handling Services at East Midlands Airport (EMA).
The license has been specifically obtained to support the company’s partners during the roll-out and implementation of its autonomous aviation technologies, and will see Aurrigo seek to ensure the smooth deployment and integration of its autonomous ground service equipment (GSE) at EMA.
Issued pursuant to the Airports (Ground Handling) Regulations 1997 and in line with the Civil Aviation Authority’s compliance framework under the Civil Aviation Act 2012; the license provides Aurrigo with all necessary approvals to deliver agreed ground handling services at EMA.
DavidSecuring this licence is another important step in our partnership with East Midlands Airport. 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.
We look forward to working alongside EMA and our partners to help shape the future of airside automation in the UK and beyond.
Aurrigo has stated it will look to obtain further ground handling licenses at additional locations locations where it is appropriate to do so, allowing the company to accelerate adoption and build foundations for wider deployment of automation across the aviation sector.
