Loganair Leads Electric Plane Revolution

Loganair, Scotlands leading airline for short hops to remote islands, is pioneering the worlds first electric planes. Partnering with Heart Aerospace and ZeroAvia, theyre testing hybrid and hydrogen-powered aircraft. CEO Luke Farajallah sees this as a smart business move, with potential fuel cost savings and lower maintenance. However, hes cautious about the rush to phase out oil and gas, crucial for their Aberdeen and Shetland flights. Loganair signed with ZeroAvia in June, with trials starting soon in Norway, potentially leading to electric flights in five to eight years.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
