As part of an experimental phase, the latest outdoor robotic valets will be deployed gradually at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, starting from September.

The robots will operate in the long-stay P5 car park area, and will serve both airport staff and the general public.

Last year, a total of 9.5 million passengers travelled to and from Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, marking a significant rise of 9.8% compared to 2015.
