VOLATUS AEROSPACE EXPANDS GLOBAL TRAINING NETWORK THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, JAMAICA

Volatus Aerospace Inc. has formed a strategic partnership with the University of Technology, Jamaica, to deliver advanced drone training and applied technology programs beginning in April, 2026.

The partnership expands Volatus Aerospace's global training footprint and strengthens its presence in the Caribbean while supporting the development of skilled drone operators and applied technology specialists in regions increasingly adopting uncrewed aerial systems for disaster response, environmental monitoring, infrastructure management and public safety applications.

This collaboration reflects Volatus's broader strategy of developing integrated capabilities across training, operations and technology development to support the growing global demand for autonomous aerial systems and skilled work force development.

At the core of the partnership is a structured training pathway focused on disaster preparedness and response, beginning with a globally accessible online program and progressing to hands-on operational training delivered at the UTech, Jamaica, campus in Kingston. The program is designed to prepare participants for real-world operational environments including emergency response, aerial assessment and mission planning.

"The expansion of our training programs into Jamaica represents another step in Volatus Aerospace's strategy to build global capability through education, applied training and operational expertise," said Glen Lynch, chief executive officer of Volatus Aerospace. "As climate events, infrastructure demands and public safety needs continue to increase worldwide, the importance of developing skilled drone professionals capable of supporting disaster preparedness and response has never been greater."

Participants completing the foundational program will have the opportunity to advance into applied training focused on operational deployment, search and rescue support, damage assessment, and complex mission environments.

In addition to disaster-response training, the partnership is expected to support additional educational and applied research initiatives focused on STEM education, environmental monitoring, and the use of drone technology in agriculture and scientific research.

Together, these initiatives are intended to establish a scalable training ecosystem supporting learners from foundational knowledge through advanced operational capability development.

"This partnership with Volatus Aerospace represents a powerful opportunity to bring cutting-edge drone technology training to Jamaica and the wider Caribbean to strengthen Jamaica's technology work force and support innovation through applied drone training and research," said Dr. Kevin Brown, president of UTech, Jamaica. "By combining academic excellence with industry expertise, we are helping prepare the next generation of technology professionals for emerging global opportunities."

Volatus Aerospace has trained more than 100,000 individuals globally and continues to expand its training network to support industry, government and institutional adoption of drone technology. The company's training programs support workforce development across sectors including public safety, infrastructure, environmental monitoring and industrial inspection.

This international expansion supports Volatus Aerospace's broader strategy of developing training and simulation capabilities aligned with the growing importance of work force readiness in the global aerospace and autonomous systems sectors, including capability areas identified within Canada's defence industrial strategy related to training, simulation and autonomous systems development.

The Jamaica initiative builds on Volatus Aerospace's growing network of international partnerships and reflects increasing global demand for skilled operators capable of supporting both commercial and government drone applications.
