Yeti Move airport snow-clearing system

• Published 20 March 2023; updated 21 September 2026; estimated reading time 3 minutes.
• Product: Yeti Autonomy Service Platform (YASP), cloud software for coordinating autonomous airport snow-clearing vehicles, including ploughs, sweepers and blowers.
• Operations: connects vehicle locations and assigned tasks; supports operational planning and runway control around arriving and departing flights. The page describes applying AI, machine learning and automation to make operations more consistent.
• Problem addressed: snow can impair aircraft take-off and braking; airports face staffing shortages, harsh working conditions, and planning challenges during major storms.
• Reported efficiency: the page compares conventional crews of up to eight people and eight vehicles with a YASP operation using two people (one in the lead vehicle and one in a command car).
• Benefits claimed: fewer vehicles and staff, lower equipment and recruitment costs, less fuel use and emissions, and improved working conditions. Current vehicles are described as fossil-fuel-powered, with biofuel and hydrogen fuel cells considered future options.
• Market facts stated: more than 500 commercial airports in Europe; Yeti Move says 60% of its core software applies to other industries and is adapting it for port logistics, construction and industry.
• Partners/customers named: Husqvarna, Semcon, Øveraasen and Swedavia; the page says Yeti Move secured a major autonomy contract with Swedavia and planned work at Oslo Airport Gardermoen.
• Growth claim on page: staff increased from two to 25 over the preceding year.

• Yeti Autonomy Service Platform (YASP) is cloud software that coordinates airport snowploughs, sweepers, blowers and other vehicles, assigning where they go and what they do. Yeti says consistent vehicle patterns, planning and operational control support safer, more efficient runway clearing while aircraft movements continue.
• AI and machine learning are described as tools to improve results from the repeated operational data. Yeti also works with airports on snow-clearing plans for coordination with airport authorities.
• The company says higher-capacity autonomous vehicles and optimised routes can reduce fleet size, fuel use, equipment and staffing costs. The page contrasts conventional operations involving up to eight vehicles and eight people with YASP operations requiring two people (one in the first vehicle and one in a command car). This is a vendor example; savings and safety outcomes are not independently quantified.
• At the time of the article, the vehicles still used fossil fuel; the company anticipated future biofuel and hydrogen fuel-cell use. YASP had secured an autonomy contract with Swedish airport operator Swedavia, with Oslo Airport Gardermoen described as a forthcoming deployment. Current deployment status is not confirmed in the page.
• Yeti says 60% of its core software could apply to port logistics, construction and industry. Nordic companies named as supporting Yeti Move include Husqvarna, Semcon and Øveraasen. Market context cites more than 500 commercial airports in Europe and 215 million passengers in 2019, both historical figures.
• Linked to SDGs 3, 8 and 9.
