Green towing in the airport

13  October  2017

From mid-July 2017 to mid-Jan 2018, Pan Asia Pacific Aviation Services (PAPAS) has trialed the operation of the first electric aircraft towing tractor in HKIA. This e-tractor is tailor-made for narrow-bodied aircraft. We have installed over 270 chargers to encourage ground service equipment (GSE) fleet operators to use more electrical vehicles and GSE, hereby reducing carbon and other pollutants on the apron.
