SINGAPORE: The backbreaking work of unloading baggage from narrow-body aircraft like the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 may soon be a thing of the past, with a new aviation innovation lab being set up in Singapore to tackle operational challenges faced by airports all over the world.

Among the new International Aviation Lab’s potential projects is the roll-out of robotics systems that can help to stack and load cargo in the belly holds of smaller aircraft, reducing the physical strain on workers.
