Loch Lomond Seaplanes has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Norway’s Elfly Group to acquire two NOEMI (No Emission) seaplanes, along with an option for three more.
David West, managing director and founder of Loch Lomond Seaplanes, emphasized the significance of the initiative. “The NOEMI seaplane represents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Our passengers have long cherished the experience of flying over Scotland’s scenic landscapes and now we can offer this experience with a dramatically reduced environmental impact. There is huge demand for a ‘flying boat’ style seaplane, and one that produces no emissions is all the better.”
The move represents a step toward sustainable air travel in the UK, with potential benefits for regional connectivity. NOEMI features an amphibious design, a range of 200 kilometers (125 miles), and a cruising speed of 200 km/h (125 mph). It is expected to reduce travel times between major population centers, replacing train journeys of five to six hours with 45-minute flights. The partnership will also focus on regulatory development, infrastructure support, and operational enhancements.
Elfly Group CEO Eric Lithun highlighted the value of collaboration, stating, “This is a terrific partnership with huge potential. David West is a legendary figure in the seaplane arena, whose many years of experience across the globe will help us to make the NOEMI the best possible aircraft for short-haul flying.”
