COVER STORY
ulatory issues with autonomous technology
that cross taxiways pose some challenges.
Schiphol has a long-term goal of achieving 100% sustainable taxiing at the airport
by 2030.
With an environmental approach spearing Schiphol's project, Metz believes TaxiBot technology can generate additional
interest.
" It's really a multi-stakeholder challenge.
You have to involve the airport, ATC, the
pilots, the airlines and the ground handling
companies, " Metz says. " If it's only the airline going for fuel savings, it's sometimes
difficult to motivate all the other stakeholders to contribute. "
However, since environmental challenges are often seen as key for airports, it
can help align the necessary stakeholders
to make it work. Metz says the Schiphol
project is evidence of this.
" I think as an industry, we need to be
very self-aware that we are quite conser-
vative when it comes to really changing
the way we do things, " Metz adds. " The
challenges we have now, and maybe after
COVID, it forces us to rethink a little bit
about the way we operate. Also, with all
the environmental challenges, we really
need to embrace change instead of trying
to find reasons not to act when solutions
are existing.
" In a highly regulatory environment, like
flying, it's always easy to find arguments
why things can't be done. Having worked
also in the maintenance side of aircraft, I
know that if you really want to, there are
always safe ways to make things happen, "
he continues. " I think that's the spirit we
need to find in our industry. "
