Loch Lomond Seaplanes has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Norway’s Elfly Group for two nine-seat NOEMI (No Emission) seaplanes, with an option to acquire three more.
“Collaboration between the two companies will not only introduce electric aviation to Scotland but also focus on advancing operational excellence, regulatory advocacy and the development of a supportive infrastructure for seaplane operations,” said a company statement.
The NOEMI seaplane has a range of 200km (125 miles), an amphibious design and a 200km/h (125mph) cruising speed. It will be able to connect major population hubs separated by five or six hour-long train rides with a 45-minute flight and help unlock the latent economic potential in coastal communities.
