Scottish Carrier Leads Europe in Electric Aviation
Loganair, a Scottish regional carrier, has agreed to purchase five BETA Technologies ALIA CX300 electric aircraft, with options for five more, aiming to become Europe’s first commercial airline operating an electric fleet. The aircraft are expected to enter service in 2029 on both passenger and cargo routes. This development follows a successful demonstration programme in March, which proved the viability of electric aviation. According to Loganair, the new aircraft will deliver greater operational flexibility with lower operating costs and zero in-flight emissions. This news was first reported by an unknown source.
