In
addition to lower ground operation fuel consumption,
other benefits of the WheelTug Aircraft Drive Systems
include: substantially reduced carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gas emissions, increased safety and
flexibility of operations, faster turnaround times, and
reduced engine wear and repair costs, and decreased
noise pollution.
WheelTug estimates the total savings at over US$500,000
per aircraft per year. WheelTug Systems will be offered
to Onur Air entirely on a lease, or power-by-the-hour
model, so that the systems can be installed and operated
on aircraft without any capital expenditure on the part
of the airline whatsoever.

which includes 24 Airbus A320s. Onur Air, operating with
the principle of excellent service quality since 1992,
