Jaunt Air Mobility is establishing design and manufacturing operations for its family of eVTOL aircraft in Montreal. Announcing the move today, the U.S.-based company said it has appointed former Bombardier Aerospace executive Eric Côté as president of its new Jaunt Air Mobility Canada.

Côté joins Jaunt from the engineering and manufacturing company Soucy Group. Prior to that role, he spent 15 years with aircraft manufacturer Bombardier with responsibility for manufacturing, operations, continuous improvement, and industrialization.
