Volatus Aerospace receives CTA license for cargo drone services
With the addition of the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) license, the company will be able to develop its drone cargo capacity under the Volatus brand in advance of the anticipated Transport Canada/FAA regulatory changes.
Volatus Aerospace Corp. has acquired a Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) License for domestic service, all-cargo aircraft. This license expands on the capabilities previously authorized by CTA licenses held by Volatus subsidiaries Partner Jet Inc. (Volatus Aviation) and Synergy Aviation.
“Positioning Volatus with this license is an important step toward our long-term vision of drone cargo operations, when we are scheduled to take delivery of the first 3.8 tonnes Natilus Kona uncrewed regional feeder aircraft (announced in a press release on January 25, 2022),” says Glen Lynch, CEO, Volatus Aerospace Corp. “It is still early days for large, commercial drone cargo and our primary revenues for the next few years will continue to come from data, analytics, intelligence and equipment sales.”
With the addition of the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) license, the company will be able to develop its drone cargo capacity under the Volatus brand in advance of the anticipated Transport Canada/FAA regulatory changes.
“Today, our cargo business is limited to smaller drones, which are practical for inter-island, remote areas, industrial sites, medical and offshore applications. These current use cases continue to build our experience and reputation as an operator of cargo drones,” added Michael Hill, Regional Director, Volatus.
