Loganair begins Embraer fleet refurbishment


Loganair begins Embraer fleet refurbishment

Sunday, 26 Oct, 2023 0

Loganair has begun a multimillion-pound refurbishment of its Embraer 145 jets.

It is a move to help the airline to meet its sustainability goals.

The regional airline has just completed the first jet in the refurbishment programme, which enters service this week.

The remaining 12 Embraer 145s will be completed over the coming months, upgrading the aircraft with new navigational systems to fly more efficiently.

The fleet is already fitted with FLYHT-WVSS-II atmospheric water vapour sensors to measure weather data for the Met Office.

The sensors monitor environmental conditions around the aircraft during flight and could help increase understanding of the non-CO2 effects of aviation.

These are estimated to contribute to around 48% of the environmental impact of flying.

Cabin interiors have also had a makeover with seats upholstered in sustainable, high performance leather supplied by Muirhead, in Paisley, Scotland.

Loganair chief executive Jonathan Hinkles said: “We have been planning the refit for some time now and we are extremely proud to be introducing the first of them into service.”

“Importantly, they don’t just look good – they are also doing good. They feature the world’s lowest carbon leather and new flight management systems.”

Each of Loganair’s Embraer aircraft has a capacity of 49 seats and fly three to four times daily across the airline’s UK network.
