April 9, 2019 marked a before and after in passenger transport within Spanish airports. On that day, Air Rail, in collaboration with Aviapartner and Yutong, put into operation the first 100% electric bus at Seville Airport, initiating a new stage towards cleaner and more efficient operations.
Six years later, this first step has been transformed into a large-scale deployment: more than 130 Yutong buses are now operating in airports across Europe, and nearly 50% of them are already electric. An evolution that reflects how technology and a shared vision between operators, manufacturers and airports can shape a new way of getting around.
A silent but powerful change
The electric bus, manufactured by Yutong, not only led to a significant reduction in emissions, but also transformed the experience inside the airport: quieter, more efficient and environmentally friendly transfers. This project was made possible thanks to the impetus of Jesús Caballero, then director of Seville Airport.
For Air Rail, this was the starting point of an ongoing strategy to optimize processes and rethink airport transportation from a more conscious logic, oriented towards sustainable results.
Looking ahead
Today, April 9, 2025, we celebrate six years since that first step with the certainty that transformation is underway. And we continue to collaborate with strategic partners to design solutions that not only work better, but have a lasting positive impact.
Because at Air Rail, WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
