Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of
transport technology solutions, is pleased to announce it has entered into a
three year strategic partnership agreement with Swissport International AG
("Swissport"), the world's leading provider of airport ground services and air
cargo handling, to deploy autonomous solutions at Zurich Airport.

 

The partnership agreement includes a six-month project agreement, which will
be signed in the coming days, for an Auto-Sim® contract to model Zurich
airport and the trial of an Auto-Dolly Tug®. The Auto-Sim® modelling is
expected to start shortly with delivery of the Auto-DollyTug® expected in H2
2025. This agreement will contribute towards the Board's expectations for the
current financial year.

 

With Zurich Airport intended to serve as the launch site, a joint deployment
and operations team at Swissport will then evaluate further sites where
Aurrigo's technology can be exclusively implemented across their operational
network, which totals over 270 airports globally.

 

To support the project, Swissport will form a dedicated team, which will work
closely with Aurrigo to carry out initial trials at Zurich airport. The focus
for both parties will be on delivering efficiency, safety, and sustainability
benefits for the aviation industry.

 

The Partnership and Project agreement is expected to follow a similar phasing
to Aurrigo's ongoing agreements with Changi Airport Singapore and Amsterdam
Airport Schiphol.

 

Warwick Brady, President & CEO of Swissport International said:

"This partnership marks a key milestone in Swissport's innovation journey. By
integrating autonomous technologies into our operations, we are taking a next
step in redefining ground handling - improving safety, boosting efficiency,
and supporting the sustainability ambitions of our airline and airport
partners across our global network."

David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International, commented: "We are very pleased to
be able to welcome Swissport to our partner network. To be able to call such a
major player in the aviation industry a partner is something we are incredibly
proud of and speaks to the quality of the products our software and hardware
teams have brought to market.

 

The roll out of autonomous technology to boost efficiency across baggage and
cargo handling, while improving safety and reducing carbon emissions is an
executive level priority for aviation industry players, globally. Supported by
market tailwinds, industry leaders and our first mover status, the opportunity
for Aurrigo continues to gather pace. With market leading products and an
increasing volume of proof points to show potential customers we look ahead
with confidence."
