Travellers at Changi Airport can expect more reliable baggage handling with the rollout of its first fleet of autonomous tractors. After nearly a year of trials and more than 5,000 test trips, the unmanned vehicles are now transferring luggage between Terminals 1 and 4, with expansion planned for Terminal 2 by the end of the year. Designed to operate safely alongside workers, the tractors aim to ease manpower pressures and maintain operations during severe weather. Alexandra Anand reports.
