Why would you want to taxi and aircraft using a tug.? Did you mean a tow?


However, what a brilliant idea - all aircraft are to be taxied to line up using tugs. Saves on fuel - great fun for tug drivers you would need a lot of tugs at the airport.


Saving of fuel = 200,000 kg per day!!! And thats just at one fairly busy airport - imagine if you combine all the busy airports in the world - imagine the saving in fuel.


That's 72,800,000 kg per year! thats 20,000,000 Imperial Gallons a Year! A saving of £122,850,000 per year - wow is that cool or what?


I bet somebody pinches it and calls it theirs - baskits!
