AIRO Announces Jaunt–Vertiko Letter of Intent for Proposed Purchase of 10 JC250 Cargo Drones in Canada

AIRO Group Holdings' subsidiary Jaunt signed a non-binding letter of intent with Vertiko Mobilité to purchase 10 JC250 drones & collaborate on autonomous cargo logistics in Canada.
The proposed deal has an estimated value of $15–20 million based on current indicative pricing.
Initial deployment will target the Atikamekw community of Manawan to connect it with the Joliette region while supporting operational testing.
The JC250 vertical takeoff & landing (VTOL) drones are designed to deliver essential goods to remote communities without requiring conventional runway infrastructure.
Mirabel will serve as a strategic hub for future operations, utilizing the existing FBO Helibellule facilities & proximity to Jaunt's development sites.
Long-term plans include expanding the network to the Greater Montreal region & establishing an autonomous logistics corridor from Windsor, Ontario to Montreal, Quebec.
The letter of intent is not a firm order, requires no deposit, & allows either party to terminate the agreement at any time.
Final drone purchases remain subject to a definitive purchase agreement, pricing negotiations, regulatory approvals, & operational readiness.
