About us

Nordic heritage - global footprint

We are a team of specialists in airport operations, software development and autonomous technology, serving airports worldwide with the newest technology.

Who we are

Yeti Move is a Norwegian deep-tech company developing the world's first comprehensive autonomous airside operations platform. Our modular SaaS solution digitizes, optimizes, and automates ground vehicle operations at airports — from planning and simulation through live monitoring, driver assistance, to full autonomous driving. Built for reliable year-round performance in both winter and summer conditions, it improves predictability, efficiency and operational performance through one unified platform.
Our journey began with autonomous winter operations at Oslo Airport Gardermoen and Stockholm Arlanda, and has evolved into a digital ecosystem for airside operations across the airport.
Today we are helping airports connect teams, vehicles, and operational data in one shared environment. Based out of Norway, we work with major European hub airports including Frankfurt, iGA Istanbul Airport, Vienna, Gardermoen, and Arlanda to improve safety, efficiency, situational awareness, and sustainability across airside operations.

What drives us

We believe the future of airside operations is defined by greater predictability, higher quality, and lower cost. Airports are facing increasing pressure from rising costs, runway incursions, analog workflows, and tightening regulation—challenges we are committed to solving.
That’s why we build technology that gives airports one unified interface—connecting all vehicles in operation, regardless of brand. Our platform enables planning, simulation, operational coordination, and assisted to fully autonomous driving with high precision.
Most importantly, it brings the technology of tomorrow to your existing fleet—eliminating the need for large upfront investments in new vehicles, while improving sustainability through retrofitting, reducing waste and carbon footprint, and extending the life of existing assets for the benefit of the planet.

We address the Airside Challenges of today

The $13B Staffing Crisis

36% of airports

Report critical staffing shortages in ground operations. Aging workforce with limited pipeline — average airside operator age exceeds 52 in Europe. Labor costs rising 8–12% annually.

Runway Incursions: $100M+ Cost

1732 incidents (US, 2023)

Runway incursions remain aviation’s most dangerous ground safety threat. Each serious incident costs $2–5M in delays, damage, and investigation. Global cost exceeds $100M annually.

Analog Operations in a Digital World

73% manual process

Airside vehicle operations still rely on paper-based planning, radio communication, and manual coordination. No real-time visibility into fleet position, utilization, or performance.

Regulatory Pressure Accelerating

2028 ICAO digital mandate

ICAO Annex 14 amendments require digital vehicle tracking and automated safety compliance. EU airports face mandatory reporting on airside emissions and operational efficiency by 2028.

Extreme Operational Complexity

300+ vehicles per large hub

Large airports coordinate hundreds of vehicles across multiple zones, weather conditions, and shift patterns. Winter operations alone require 50–100 vehicles in synchronized formations.

Costs Rising, Margins Compressing

23% since 2020

Airside operating costs have surged post-pandemic while airport margins remain under pressure. Ground handlers face 15–20% cost inflation with limited ability to pass through to airlines.
