FutureFlight On The Radar
Toronto Stakes Its Claim to an Advanced Air Mobility Future
The Canadian Advanced Air Mobility Consortium's white paper on the benefits of the new mode of transportation for the Greater Toronto area has been welcomed by regional investment agency Toronto Global.

Toronto has the potential to join the ranks of cities embracing advanced air mobility (AAM) services, according to a white paper published today by the Canadian Advanced Air Mobility Consortium. The report, prepared for the group by Nexa Advisors, envisages that the city will first see the deployment of eVTOL aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft systems (drones) for functions such as the transportation of patients and medical equipment.

The new paper, entitled Advanced Air Mobility Comes to Toronto: Exciting Opportunities to Improve Urban Mobility of People, Goods, and Services, also describes the potential for zero-emissions flights in electric aircraft supporting new regional air connections over distances that are not now economically viable for air carriers, as well as providing much-needed transportation options for multiple indigenous people’s communities across Ontario province. It mentions potential eVTOL services out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and Billy Bishop City Airport, to communities such as Kitchener, Peterborough, and Barrie in Ontario, and also across the border to U.S. cities including Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland as well as Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse in New York.
