SATS and SIAEC begin autonomous bus trials at Changi Airport in Q3

The initiative aims to boost airside productivity by automating driving tasks.

SATS unit, SATS Airport Services, and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to start a proof of concept (POC) on using autonomous buses to transport airport staff around Changi Airport’s airside.

The POC, commencing in Q3, will validate the self-driving capabilities of the autonomous bus to gain confidence in its operational and safety performance.

The parties will conduct the POC in two phases: the first in a sterile environment and the second in a live operational environment.

The two-year collaboration was co-funded under the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)’s Aviation Development Fund (ADF).

The collaboration is part of Changi Airport’s effort to automate routine driving tasks to improve airside manpower productivity and present opportunities for job redesign and upskilling.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
