Bring the gate to the plane,
not the plane to the gate.
EERO NEXUS is an electric ADAS/Autonomous platform that boards and deplanes passengers at multiple doors simultaneously, eliminating pushback tugs, jet bridge delays, and costly ground stops. Airlines and airports gain 30%+ faster turns, more slot capacity, and a new income stream, at no/low cost to airports worldwide.

EERO NEXUS
A better way to board
Traditional airports, where the majority of built area is for walking and waiting, are fixed, inflexible, and costly to expand. With full ADAS and fail-safe engineering, EERO NEXUS introduces modular, electric vehicles that transport passengers directly to and from the terminal - offering airports a path to incremental growth without monumental infrastructure projects.
Lower capital expenditure than terminal expansions
Reduced operational complexity and maintenance
Flexible deployment as demand evolves
Premium, end-to-end experience from lounge to plane
Electric and autonomy-ready
Zero-emission by design - with ADAS safety systems and fail-safe controls, built for a clear path to full automation as regulations evolve.
Incremental deployment
Add capacity unit by unit - no permitting, no reduction in overall campus space or need for
years-long terminal construction.
Flexible gate utilization
Serve multiple aircraft types and gate configurations with one system.
Enables seasonal demand patterns with minimal CapEx while maintaining a premium passenger experience.
Reduced congestion
Dedicated boarding paths free up terminal space and reduce bottlenecks.
EERO connects the aircraft directly with customs (FIS), and will leverage AI to allow for pre-clearance.
PRM-first accessibility
EERO greatly enables PRM passengers to travel with dignity.
Level boarding and dedicated space for passengers with reduced mobility - while eliminating the need for PRM ground support equipment.
Passenger comfort
Climate-controlled environment from terminal to aircraft, in all weather.
CIP/VIP customer segmentation is possible, allowing airlines to maintain an end-to-end premium experience.
The airport, reimagined
EERO NEXUS emerged from the recognition that Eero Saarinen's iconic Dulles terminal deserves infrastructure worthy of its vision. Rather than compromise the building with conventional expansions, we've developed a system that honors its original promise:
Elegant, efficient movement at scale.
Saarinen envisioned Dulles as a temple of movement—fluid, optimistic, human-scaled. EERO NEXUS platforms honor that vision by making the terminal work as it was always meant to: a place of seamless transition, not a bottleneck.
Designed for every passenger
Accessibility is not an add-on—it's fundamental to EERO NEXUS design. Level boarding, dedicated PRM space, and intuitive wayfinding ensure dignity and independence for all travelers. EERO NEXUS meets and exceeds international accessibility standards while improving the experience for everyone.
