VOLATUS AEROSPACE OPENS 53,000-SQUARE-FOOT MIRABEL FACILITY, ESTABLISHING DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING BASE FOR AUTONOMOUS DEFENCE SYSTEMS

Volatus Aerospace Inc.'s 53,000-square-foot manufacturing and systems integration facility located at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport, is now operational, marking a significant step in building sovereign Canadian production capacity for advanced autonomous systems.

Inside one of North America's most established aerospace hubs, and part of the YMX Innovation Centre, the facility will support the manufacture and integration of advanced autonomous systems and related technologies serving commercial, public safety, industrial and defence customers. Production is already live, with drone docking stations rolling off the line and being delivered to commercial customers. Manufacturing of Volatus's V-Series aircraft is expected to begin shortly, marking the next phase of the facility's operational ramp-up.

The facility is a significant addition to the company's operational infrastructure and supports its long-term strategy to expand production capacity, accelerate commercialization, and meet growing customer demand for Canadian-developed autonomous solutions across NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and NATO allies.

"Canada is placing renewed emphasis on strengthening domestic industrial capacity in strategically important sectors, including aerospace, autonomous systems and defence," said Glen Lynch, chief executive officer of Volatus. "Our Mirabel facility is a strategic investment in Canadian manufacturing capability. By expanding our ability to manufacture, integrate, test and deploy advanced autonomous systems domestically, we are strengthening our ability to serve customers while contributing to the industrial capacity needed to support Canada's economic growth, create high-value jobs and strengthen sovereign capability in critical technology sectors."

The launch aligns with growing national and international investments in aerospace modernization, autonomous technologies and industrial resilience. Canada's recently released defence industrial strategy highlights the importance of strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities, accelerating innovation and building sovereign capacity in critical technology sectors. The Mirabel facility supports these objectives through the development, integration, and production of advanced aerospace and autonomous systems technologies.

"As demand for autonomous systems continues to grow across commercial, public safety, industrial and defence markets," added Mr. Lynch. "The Mirabel facility strengthens Volatus's position as a strategic partner and enhances our ability to manufacture, integrate, and deliver solutions at scale for customers in Canada and internationally."
