VOLATUS AEROSPACE APPOINTS MAJOR GENERAL (RET'D) PETER "PETE" FESLER TO ADVISORY BOARD; LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RET'D) ANDREW LESLIE TO CHAIR

Volatus Aerospace Inc. has appointed Major-General (retired) Peter M. (Pete) Fesler to its advisory board, completing the formation of a multinational group of senior defence leaders aligned with Canada's evolving defence industrial strategy.

Mr. Fesler brings more than 27 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, including command of the 1st Fighter Wing and senior leadership roles at NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), where he served as deputy director of operations responsible for aerospace warning and control across North America. A command pilot with over 2,200 flight hours in F-15 and F-22 aircraft and more than 50 combat missions, he is widely recognized for his expertise in continental defence, air and missile defence, and joint operations.

This appointment brings together a highly experienced advisory group spanning Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, with leadership backgrounds across NORAD, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and allied joint operations, at a time when Canada is increasing focus on sovereign defence capability and continental security.

The advisory board includes Lieutenant-General (retired) Christopher J. Coates, former commander of Canadian joint operations command and deputy commander of NORAD, and Major-General (retired) Gary Deakin, CBE, former chief of staff within NATO command structures and a senior adviser on defence strategy and transformation.

The company also confirmed that Lieutenant-General (retired) Andrew Leslie, a member of its board of directors and former commander of the Canadian Army, will serve as chair of the advisory board.

"Gen. Fesler brings a deep operational understanding of North American defence and the evolving threat environment," said Glen Lynch, chief executive officer of Volatus Aerospace. "His experience, alongside that of Lt.-Gen. Leslie, Gen. Coates and Gen. Deakin, establishes a level of strategic insight that is directly aligned with Canada's defence priorities and our role in supporting them."

The formation of the advisory board reflects Volatus's focus on supporting Canada's defence industrial strategy, including the development of sovereign capabilities in uncrewed and autonomous systems, advanced training, and mission-critical operations. The company's integrated platform, spanning design, manufacturing, operations and data, positions it to support domestic requirements while contributing to allied interoperability.

"Canada's ability to build and sustain its own aerospace and defence capabilities is increasingly important to both national security and allied commitments," added Mr. Lynch. "A stronger Canadian industrial base strengthens our role within NORAD and NATO. Volatus is focused on building that capability."

"I am honoured to join Volatus Aerospace at this important point in the evolution of North American defence," said Mr. Fesler. "The need for integrated, scalable and operationally proven capabilities continues to grow, and Volatus is well positioned to support both Canadian and allied missions."
