Jaunt Air Mobility’s expansion in Canada
Jaunt Air Mobility, a new generation aerospace organisation based in Dallas, Texas, has announced its plans to open design and manufacturing centres in Canada. The appointment of Eric Côté to head these Canadian operations is the first step of this expansion strategy.
As an OEM and operator of eVTOL (all-electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft for the urban air mobility market, the organisation aims to “meet the growing demand for faster urban and regional travel”. Côté: “The Jaunt journey will meet the highest safety standards and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.”
Côté joins from the Soucy Group, where he spent 15 years and recently was the group’s CEO. Previously, also for 15 years, he held senior-level positions at Bombardier Aerospace. Now he will provide assistance for engaging strategic investment partners and be in charge of planning Jaunt’s Canadian operations. (amh)
