SATS, Guangtai to explore advanced tech for airport ground support

The collaboration also includes a focus on training, engineering, and sustainability improvements.

SATS Airport Services Pte Ltd and Weihai Guangtai Airport Equipment Co Ltd (Guangtai), a global support equipment (GSE) manufacturer and supplier, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore and trial advanced technologies to drive improvements in airport ground support services provided by SATS and its subsidiaries.

The three-year collaboration aims to evaluate the performance and suitability of the technologies in real-world airport operations, with a focus on electric GSE technologies, ensuring they meet the specific needs of SATS’ operations.

SATS will begin by trialling a new mid-size electric air tug, developed with the expertise of Guangtai, designed to push or tow medium-sized passenger aircraft.

The collaboration also includes a focus on training, engineering, and sustainability improvements.

SATS has also initiated a strategic multi-year capex management approach to optimise GSE procurement and fleet management.

As part of this strategy, SATS is consolidating category management and building long-term partnerships with a few key GSE manufacturers in order to improve the reliability, efficiency, and total cost of ownership of SATS’ GSE fleet.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
