To Help Build Quebec as a Centre for Advanced Air Mobility
Montreal, Canada/Dallas, Texas, June 14, 2023 – Jaunt Air Mobility is pleased that Eric Côté, president of Jaunt Canada, was recently elected a member of Aéro Montréal’s board. Aéro Montréal is positioning Quebec as a centre for advanced air mobility (AAM) to facilitate and provide expertise, support, and end-to-end value chain activities from research & collaborative innovation, investment & financing services, design, prototyping, testing, certification, manufacturing, sales, infrastructure & operations, to MRO and sustainable end of vehicle life services.
“It is an honour to join Aéro Montréal’s board and contribute to bringing AAM to Quebec and the world. At Jaunt, we have committed to designing, building, and certifying the Jaunt Journey in Canada due to the support of organizations like Aéro Montreal, the government, and access to a strong aviation community,” says Côté.
“We have assembled an incredible pool of expertise to realize our vision of building Quebec’s reputation as a centre of excellence in AAM. Eric’s global business experience and the company’s mission to develop an eVTOL here make him a very valuable asset,” said Mélanie Lussier, President of Aéro Montréal.
Aéro Montréal, Quebec’s aerospace cluster, is a strategic think tank created in 2006 that groups all the major decision makers in Quebec’s aerospace sector, including companies, educational and research institutions, associations, and unions. Aéro Montréal aims to foster the growth and expansion of the cluster to ensure that it may continue to create wealth for Montreal, Quebec, and Canada.
