Canadian Advanced Air Mobility
Advanced Air Mobility is the evolution of air transportation enabled by an ecosystem of new propulsion technologies, aircraft architecture, and operating missions, allowing people, goods, and services to move within urban and regional areas safely.
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is set to reshape how Canadians connect — enhancing regional access, urban travel, and sustainable growth. But this transformation depends on collaboration. From regulations to infrastructure to clean technology, every piece of the AAM puzzle requires the entire ecosystem to work together.
As Canada’s national voice for AAM, Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (CAAM) unites the ecosystem, coordinating efforts across sectors, aligning priorities, and ensuring Canada’s readiness in the future of flight.
Made-in-Canada innovations
Canada isn’t just participating in AAM — it’s innovating.
In Bromont, Québec, CAAM National Board member Unither Bioélectronique completed the world’s first piloted hydrogen-powered helicopter flight, powered by its proprietary fuel cell technology.
In Ontario, CAAM member Horizon Aircraft completed the first full-wing transition flight of its hybrid-electric Cavorite X7 aircraft demonstrator, showing how Canadian companies are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the next era of aviation.
Regulatory and airspace readiness
AAM technologies can only reach full-scale adoption if they’re supported by robust regulatory and airspace management frameworks.
At the 2025 International Paris Air Show, a major step forward was announced — and Canada is at the table. Transport Canada, alongside aviation authorities from the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, released a landmark international roadmap to align how new aircraft like eVTOLs are certified and validated across borders. This kind of multilateral coordination reduces duplication and accelerates the safe adoption of emerging technologies.
Meanwhile, NAV CANADA is advancing its Remote Traffic Management (RTM) Trials—a national initiative testing enhanced remote traffic management systems to support new AAM operations. These trials are helping shape how emerging aircraft can safely coexist with traditional air traffic, using Canadian expertise to develop scalable, real-world solutions.
Collaboration in action
Progress depends on more than policies — it requires ongoing dialogue. That’s why CAAM hosts quarterly AAM Town Halls featuring national authorities. These gatherings keep stakeholders aligned on what’s needed and what’s next, from infrastructure and certification to public trust and community readiness.
On an international scale, CAAM-led delegation trips connect Canadian innovators, regulators, and investors with global AAM leaders. These visits open doors to firsthand learning, partnerships, and ideas that accelerate our efforts here at home.
Be part of Canada’s AAM future
AAM is about building an integrated transportation ecosystem that benefits communities, supports climate goals, and spurs economic growth. Through initiatives like the AAM Town Halls and CAAM Delegation trips, CAAM ensures Canadian voices are aligned, informed, and ready to act.
We’re stronger together, and Canada’s AAM future will be built through continued collaboration across borders, sectors, and skies.
