Overview

The Airtug is a utility vehicle primarily used for towing luggage carts and other equipment around airports. Its compact size and maneuverability make it ideal for navigating the busy tarmac of Los Santos International Airport. While not designed for high-speed chases or off-road adventures, the Airtug fulfills its role as a practical and reliable workhorse.

In Grand Theft Auto V, the Airtug is often seen at airports and is not typically used by players for missions or races. Its slow speed and limited functionality make it more of a novelty vehicle than a practical choice for most in-game activities.
