Loganair inks hybrid-electric partnership with Heart Aerospace
Regional airline Loganair has teamed up with Swedish hybrid-electric aircraft manufacturer Heart Aerospace, aiming to decarbonise regional air travel.
The collaboration will focus on establishing use cases for Heart Aerospace’s hybrid electric aircraft to be deployed on Loganair’s Scottish and UK network.
Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a hybrid-electric aircraft with the capacity to carry up to 30 passengers.
Luke Farajallah, Loganair CEO, said: “This is a very exciting and significant moment for Loganair and for the future of sustainable UK regional flying.”
This exclusive collaboration brings together two organisations who share a passion to see aviation emissions reduce in a realistic and meaningful way.”
“At Loganair we are very proud of our environmental work and achievements to date, and we see this as the next logical step.”
As part of the partnership, Loganair and Heart will work together to explore options for the ES-30 as well as engaging with the Scottish and UK Governments and airports, the airline says.
The ES-30 will have a fully electric zero emissions range of 200km and an extended hybrid range of 400km with 30 passengers on board.
With 25 passengers on board the aircraft has the potential to achieve a range of 800km.
Loganair will also join Heart Aerospace’s Industry Advisory Board, which includes a range of airlines, governments, leasing companies, and airports globally.
