Key Takeaways:

Scotland's Loganair has partnered with Beta Technologies to purchase five (with options for five more) Alia CX300 electric aircraft, aiming to become Europe's first commercial all-electric fleet operator by 2029.
The electric aircraft are intended for both passenger and cargo operations, particularly suited for connecting remote UK communities that lack road or rail service.
This initiative follows successful electric flight demonstrations with Royal Mail and is expected to significantly reduce operating costs while supporting Loganair's commitment to net-zero emissions.

Scotland’s Loganair at the Farnborough International Airshow signed a term sheet that could see the regional airline—the U.K.’s largest—introduce commercial electric aircraft to Europe by 2029.

Loganair this past week agreed to purchase five Alia CX300 aircraft from Vermont-based Beta Technologies, with options for five more, that it aims to field before the end of the decade. The companies in a news release said the agreement “will ensure” that LoganAir is Europe’s first commercial carrier to operate an all-electric fleet.
