SA Flyer Magazine
|December 2024
Saxon Air has completed the installation of what it calls a 'pioneering electric charging point' at its Business Aviation Centre in Norwich, believed to be the first of its kind at a UK regional airport, with the purpose-built infrastructure featuring a solar energy array specifically tailored for electric aircraft.

Covering nearly 86 square metres, the 18kWp solar array includes 44 solar panels mounted on a steel frame, estimated to generate around 18,156 kWh of energy per year.
