UK’s first electric mail flights tested between Glasgow and Dundee using all-electric ALIA CTOL aircraft.
Loganair, in partnership with Royal Mail and BETA Technologies, conducted the UK’s first real-world electric flight demonstrations on essential mail routes between Glasgow and Dundee using the all-electric ALIA CTOL aircraft.
The trial, approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, tested the aircraft’s ability to operate from existing runways, recharge in 20–40 minutes, and carry 560kg of mail over 336 nautical miles.
The flights aim to assess the feasibility of integrating electric aircraft into regional networks to support Royal Mail’s 2040 net-zero goal and improve connectivity for remote Scottish communities.
Industry leaders hailed the milestone as a significant step toward sustainable, quieter, and more reliable regional aviation.
