Volatus Aerospace has officially opened a 53,000-square-foot manufacturing and systems integration facility in Mirabel, Québec, expanding its capacity to produce and integrate uncrewed and autonomous systems in Canada.
The site has been operational since earlier in 2026 and is already supporting the company’s manufacturing activities. Production of drone docking stations is underway, while the facility also supports the integration and production of Volatus’ V-Series aircraft and other advanced autonomous systems.
Located within the aerospace cluster surrounding Montréal-Mirabel International Airport, the facility combines manufacturing, systems integration and technology advancement within a Canadian production environment. Volatus intends the investment to support growing requirements across defence, public safety, industrial and commercial markets in Canada and allied countries.
The official opening included remarks, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a facility tour, bringing together representatives from Canada’s aerospace, defence, investment, business and government communities. Attendees included MP Carlos Leitão, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry; MP Madeleine Chenette; Isabelle Hudon, President and Chief Executive Officer of BDC; Roxanne Therrien, Mayor of Mirabel; and Yves Beauchamp, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aéroports de Montréal.
Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace, said, “Mirabel is an important part of the next stage of Volatus’ growth. As demand for autonomous systems grows, our ability to manufacture, integrate and deliver at scale becomes increasingly important. This facility gives us the infrastructure to expand production, accelerate the commercialization of Canadian technologies and serve customers in Canada and allied markets.”
The facility also forms part of Volatus’ efforts to strengthen its ability to manufacture, integrate, test and support technology in Canada while scaling production for domestic and international opportunities.
Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace, added, “Building sovereign capability requires more than developing great technology. It requires the ability to manufacture, integrate, test and support that technology here in Canada. Mirabel strengthens that capability and provides a platform from which we can continue to scale production and pursue opportunities across Canada, NATO and allied markets.”
The opening marks another step in Volatus’ strategy to combine its technology portfolio, operational expertise and manufacturing capabilities into scalable solutions for customers in Canada and international markets.
