Ace calls Volatus for vertiport future
Volatus has been named the preferred infrastructure partner for Ace VTOL for strategically located vertiports across Australia.

Ace VTOL has named Volatus as its preferred infrastructure partner in the rapidly growing eVTOL market.

“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 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,” says CEO Brett Northey.

“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 their founder and CEO Brett Northey and the whole team at Ace,” adds Volatus CEO Dan Sloat. “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.”

Ace VTOL is a technology and transportation company focused on delivering safe and sustainable eVTOL aircraft to the global market with multirole airframes, including the Trinity for commercial, logistics and municipal applications.
