Aircraft Pushback Tugs Market

Report Highlights

Aircraft Pushback Tugs Market: Introduction

Aircraft pushback tugs come under aircraft ground support equipment (GSE). Aircraft pushback tugs are used to push and tow aircraft in hangar, ramp, and terminal areas at the airport. Aircraft pushback tugs push the aircraft backward to transport aircraft to any location on the airport. In any airport, ground support equipment are essential for proper airport management and pushback tugs play an important role in it.

Furthermore, aircraft pushback tugs are available in many shapes and sizes. The main type of aircraft pushback tugs are conventional pushback tugs and towbarless pushback tugs. Conventional tugs use a tow bar to connect the tug to the nose landing gear of an aircraft. However, towbarless tugs directly lift off the nose landing gear and move the aircraft. Conventional pushback tugs are commonly used by most of the airports, but towbarless pushback tugs provide better control and higher speed.

Aircraft pushback tugs are commonly used ground support equipment (GSE) and provide better speed and control when compared to tow trucks. The introduction of new technologies such as remotely operated aircraft pushback tugs, offer safe and efficient management of an airport.

Aircraft Pushback Tugs Market: Dynamics

With growing urbanization, the need for a safer and comfortable way to travel is increasing. Also, the growing demand for better transportation solutions for goods as well as for passengers is pushing the growth of the global airline industry at a significant rate. The growing airline industry is projected to relatively increase the demand for new aircraft & airport ground support equipment and is projected to propel the aircraft pushback tugs market at a significant rate over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the number of new airports is increasing in emerging countries. The expansion and up-gradation of airport infrastructure is expected to drive the aircraft pushback tugs market over the forecast period.

However, there are various safety issues related to pushback tugs. Also, the high investment required is anticipated to hamper the growth of the aircraft pushback tugs market over the forecast period.
