Scotland-based regional airline Loganair is evaluating Heart Aerospace's 30-passenger ES-30 hybrid-electric aircraft.

UK regional airline Loganair has launched a partnership with hybrid-electric aircraft developer Heart Aerospace to advance ways to reduce carbon emissions from short-haul flights. The agreement announced on September 4 is the latest green initiative by the Scotland-based carrier, which earlier this year forged partnerships with Cranfield Aerospace Solutions around its planned hydrogen-powered version of the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft.

Loganair said it will explore use cases for the 30-passenger ES-30 hybrid-electric airliner that Sweden-based Heart is developing. From its hub airport in Glasgow, the airline mainly operates domestic flights within the UK, including to several small and remote communities in Scotland. It has committed to achieving zero emissions across its operations by 2040.
