Ace VTOL to work with Volatus Infrastructure and expand future opportunities for Advanced Air Mobility in Australia

Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture has signed a mem­o­ran­dum of under­stand­ing (MOU) with Aus­tralian-based Ace VTOL, with both com­pa­nies to help expand oppor­tu­ni­ties in the rapid­ly grow­ing eVTOL mar­ket. As part of the agree­ment, Vola­tus is Ace VTOL’s pre­ferred infra­struc­ture provider.

“Borne out of mutu­al respect and a shared com­mit­ment to acces­si­bil­i­ty, this part­ner­ship brings us even greater cred­i­bil­i­ty among cus­tomers in Aus­tralia. We com­mend the vision­ary lead­er­ship of ACE founder and CEO Brett Northey and the whole team at Ace,” said Dan Sloat, Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture CEO.

“Perth is one of the most iso­lat­ed cities in the world — a full 1,300 miles from the next city of note, so strate­gi­cal­ly locat­ed ver­ti­ports will be a key enabler to growth.”

Northey added: “Ace is incred­i­bly proud to be work­ing hand in hand with the team at Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture, undoubt­ed­ly one of the pre­mier ver­ti­port devel­op­ers in the glob­al eVTOL mar­ket.

“Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture offers a unique under­stand­ing of the Aus­tralian cli­mate and cul­ture with its time­less style and prac­ti­cal ver­ti­port design, offer­ing a com­fort­able solu­tion for all Aus­tralians in this new trans­port demo­graph­ic.”

Ace VTOL is focussed on deliv­er­ing safe and sus­tain­able eVTOL air­craft to the glob­al mar­ket with mul­ti­role air­frames for com­mer­cial, logis­tics and munic­i­pal appli­ca­tions. The com­pa­ny is com­mit­ted to alle­vi­at­ing the issues asso­ci­at­ed with the exist­ing trans­port ecosys­tem, increas­ing prop­er­ty and busi­ness val­u­a­tion through con­nec­tiv­i­ty and safe­ly plac­ing Aus­tralia at the lead­ing edge of this excit­ing new
trans­port demo­graph­ic.

Found­ed in 2021 Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture offers three main eVTOL infra­struc­ture designs, a vehi­cle agnos­tic charg­ing sta­tion, plus an app and main­te­nance pro­grams.

At EAA’s 70th Air­Ven­ture last month, Vola­tus announced the three mem­bers of its future lead­er­ship team. Dan Sloat will take on the role of CEO work­ing side by side with co-founder Grant Fisk.

Bob John­son will be chief com­mer­cial offi­cer (CCO), lead­ing Vola­tus’ glob­al busi­ness devel­op­ment teams and fos­ter­ing new rela­tion­ships. Nico­las Zart will take con­trol as chief strat­e­gy offi­cer (CSO), work­ing with Sloat to cham­pi­on the eVTOL indus­try.
