Livingston Airline purchases WheelTug delivery slots

Livingston Compagnia Aerea, an Italian privately-owned airline, and WheelTug plc, announced the execution of a Slot Purchase Agreement under which the airline, subject to all regulatory approvals, has the right to lease WheelTug Aircraft Drive Systems for installation on its fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft. With this agreement, nearly three hundred WheelTug delivery slots have been reserved by airlines. The WheelTug electric drive system uses high-performance electric motors, installed in the nose gear wheels of an aircraft, to provide full mobility while on the ground, without the use of the aircraft’s jet engines or tugs for both pushback and taxi operations.
