OUT OF PAINT!

Our latest Islander is back at Bembridge in full livery. Until now you have only ever seen this one in primer.

This is the first Islander built in the UK from detail component level, and the 1,254th Islander on handover.

FIRST FLIGHT!

Islander, serial 2317, flew from Bembridge at 14:25 today.

This is the first aircraft off our new Bembridge production line, with the airframe built up from detail components. The flight test programme now gets under way.

It was a pleasure to visit @aerarannislands yesterday and to be welcomed by Peter McKenna.

We greatly value our long-standing relationships with Islander operators, and 2026 marks a particularly special milestone as Aer Arann celebrates 56 years of operating the Islander.

POWER ON!

First UK-built Islander in almost six decades is out of the hangar at Bembridge and into final preparation for ground testing.
