SpiceJet has tied-up with WheelTug for reserving 400 production slots for the electric taxi system. The application of such a system helps move an aircraft forward or backward without powering its engines or using external tugs. The electric taxi system will enable SpiceJet in saving fuel, reducing carbon emissions as well as noise levels and improving fleet utilisation, thereby directly improving the bottom line. The WheelTug system places high-torque motors in the nose wheels of the aircraft.
SpiceJet is India’s favourite airline that has made flying affordable for more Indians than ever before.
