Cochin Airport has upgraded its safety measures with a new firefighting robot and boom lifts. These additions help in quicker, more efficient responses to emergencies on the airfield.
The firefighting robot enhances safety by reaching spots humans can’t during fire incidents. The boom lifts also assist in accessing high or difficult areas faster, improving overall emergency readiness.
Articulated Boom Lift
Cochin Airport has added an articulated boom lift to improve emergency response and maintenance efficiency. Its jointed hydraulic design allows operators to reach difficult, elevated areas safely.
The tweet below from CIAL ARFF highlights the lift’s role as a precise, multi-jointed aerial platform, ideal for high-access tasks:
With smooth controls and a compact frame, the boom lift is built for tight spaces and quick deployment. It’s a practical upgrade for enhancing airport safety and operational reach.
Multipurpose Firefighting Robot
Cochin Airport has introduced a multipurpose firefighting robot to strengthen on-ground emergency response. Designed for rough terrain and tight spaces, it reaches areas unsafe for humans.
The tweet below announces its induction alongside the boom lift, showcasing CIAL’s commitment to next-gen safety tools:
Equipped with water and foam systems, remote controls, and thermal imaging, the robot enhances speed and precision during fire incidents. It’s a smart, compact asset for safer airport operations.
Live Demonstration & Inaugural Event
Cochin Airport recently held a live demonstration to showcase its newly introduced firefighting robot and articulated boom lifts. The event took place on airport grounds with officials and staff present, as captured in the video below:
During the demonstration, the robot performed fire response maneuvers, while the boom lift displayed its elevated reach and flexibility. Both tools were seen in action under realistic conditions.
This public rollout marked a key moment in CIAL’s efforts to modernize its airfield emergency equipment and response capabilities.

Hi, my name is Jodie Price and I have been a flight attendant for the past four years. Before that, I was a teacher at a local school. During my summer vacations from teaching, I loved to jet off on an exciting adventure whenever I could.But the flights stressed me and my friends out so much that we almost stopped vacationing altogether. Would another form of transportation be easier?
