Jaunt Air Mobility on Tuesday announced an alliance with engineering services group L&T Technology Services (LTTS) to work on the development of the all-electric, five-seat Journey eVTOL aircraft that Jaunt aims to bring into commercial service by 2026. The India-based company, which says it has more than a decade's experience working on aerospace and defense programs, will support the Jaunt team in establishing design and production facilities in the Montreal area.

Texas-based Jaunt has a Canadian subsidiary and will now ramp up the recruitment of more engineers and other specialists and look to work with the Canadian government. At the same time, it is in the process of completing a merger with the Airo Group that was announced in October 2021.
