Loganair Confirms Exclusive Partnership With Heart Aerospace To Develop Sustainable Regional Air Travel
The title of this post, is the same as that of this news item from Loganair.
This is the sub-heading.
Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, has joined with Swedish hybrid-electric airplane manufacturer Heart Aerospace, to launch a new and exclusive partnership dedicated to decarbonising regional air travel
These two paragraphs introduce the partnership.
The collaboration will focus on establishing use cases for Heart Aerospace’s hybrid electric aircraft within Loganair’s extensive Scottish and UK network.
Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a hybrid-electric aircraft with the capacity to carry up to 30 passengers. The ES-30 has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions while offering cost-effective and accessible air travel.
These are my thoughts.
Loganair Has An Extensive Network Of Destinations
At the top end, there are international airports like Aberdeen, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
And at the bottom end, there’s Barra!
Do the Swedes want the world-class publicity of landing the ES-30 on the beach at Barra airport?
Loganair’s Network Serves Some Airports, Where there Is Plenty of Green Electricity
Obvious ones in the UK are Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Inverness, Kirkwall, Liverpool, Newquay, Norwich and Sumburgh
I also suspect that one of the London airports will be made electric-aircraft friendly in the near future. Southend has the green electricity, but Loganair closed their routes to the airport.
Gothenburg And Scotland Could Be In Range Of An ES-30
Heart are based at Gothenburg and Loganair’s base at Aberdeen could be in range.
This could be useful for ferrying aircraft.
Conclusion
This looks like a partnership, that could go a long way!

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Loganair should be ideal for the sort of aircraft Heart will be producing. Heart’s page on the ES-30 is at https://heartaerospace.com/es-30/ – some interesting projections there.

There’s an interview/general discussion with Heart’s CEO at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW3uTBbAGHA The major order from United seems to have caused them to move a major part of their operation to LA.
