Expected to enter service in 2029, the aircraft will support passenger and cargo operations across Loganair's network, delivering greater operational flexibility with lower operating costs and zero in-flight emissions.

With a maximum demonstrated range of 336 nautical miles and a payload capacity of up to 560kg, the aircraft is well matched to the high-frequency regional routes that define Loganair's Scottish network.

Loganair and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions set sights on debuting world's first operational hydrogen-electric Britten-Norman Islander in Kirkwall by 2027.
