Drawing on data from major hubs including Heathrow and Washington Dulles, the paper shows how EERO NEXUS cuts PRM handling costs by 70% or more, delivers hundreds of millions in annual savings across the network, reduces operational risk for airlines, and unlocks significant latent demand from travelers who currently avoid flying due to poor accessibility experiences.

By integrating real-time operational data from the FAA’s System Wide Information Management (SWIM) framework, EERO NEXUS vehicles can dynamically position themselves, optimize aircraft turnarounds, reduce delays, and contribute valuable operational intelligence back into airport systems. The paper outlines how this approach creates a software-defined, data-driven layer that improves efficiency, lowers infrastructure costs, and supports the evolution toward autonomous airport operations.
