A Canadian start-up company is planning to build an advanced air mobility (AAM) vertiport network in Québec.

VPorts, a Mirabel, Québec-based company founded in 2021 to develop AAM infrastructure, announced on Tuesday its plans to create the region’s first eVTOL vertiport network. Initially, VPorts will focus on regional cargo flights and the transportation of patients and medical supplies, including organs for transplants.
