Jaunt and Vertiko Sign LOI for Proposed Canadian JC250 Cargo-Drone Project

Jaunt and Vertiko Mobilité signed a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed Canadian cargo-drone project involving the JC250. The companies would develop autonomous logistics operations, but any aircraft purchase depends on a definitive agreement.

Key details

• The proposal covers 10 JC250 heavy-lift cargo drones.
• The letter of intent requires no deposit and either party may terminate it.
• One proposed use is cargo service for First Nations communities in Quebec, including a potential logistics corridor between Manawan and the Joliette region.
• Mirabel, near Montreal, is identified as the planned main logistics hub. Facilities operated by FBO Helibellule could support testing and operational development.
• The JC250 is described as a vertical-takeoff-and-landing unmanned aircraft designed for heavy-lift cargo operations.

The letter of intent covers a proposed purchase of 10 JC250 cargo drones.

Why it matters

A vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft can operate without a conventional runway, while its forward-flight design supports regional transport. The proposal also pairs aircraft testing with development of cargo operations in Quebec.
