The UK's first airside trial of hydrogen-powered ground support equipment at Exeter Airport confirms safe integration into airport operations. The Zero Carbon Turn project, involving Exeter Airport, Cranfield University, TUI, Boeing, ULEMCo, and MULAG, showcased hydrogen technologies during a live turnaround of a TUI Boeing 737.

The trial achieved several UK firsts and identified essential steps for future hydrogen adoption in aviation. A follow-up trial is scheduled for later this month to further evaluate hydrogen systems in winter conditions.
