Smarter Skies, Intelligent Cities

A non-profit association bringing together drone, eVTOL and advanced air mobility companies, researchers, cities and communities — so aerial transportation grows safely, responsibly and for everyone’s benefit.

About Us

A new layer of transportation is taking shape above our cities

Advanced air mobility is bringing flight into everyday transportation: delivery and inspection drones, medical and emergency flights, aerial surveying, and the coming generation of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Woven into intelligent city systems — vertiports, digital airspace management and connected infrastructure — it is already creating jobs and new services, from getting medicine to remote communities faster, to inspecting bridges, railways and power lines without putting people at risk.

Canada is made for this. Our geography, our aerospace heritage and our strong research base give us every reason to lead. The Aerial Transportation and Intelligent Cities Association (ATIC) Canada is a non-profit organisation founded to help the sector grow the right way: safety before speed, shared standards instead of guesswork, a constructive industry voice with regulators and cities, and real benefit for the communities underneath the flight paths. We welcome members from coast to coast to coast.

What We Do

Four ways we move the sector forward

Policy & Advocacy

A constructive, evidence-based voice with regulators and municipalities — practical rules that keep people safe and let good operations fly.

Standards & Safety

Shared best practices and a strong operator safety culture — checklists, incident learning and guidance members can actually use.

Events & Networking

An annual summit, demonstration days and site visits that put operators, buyers, researchers and officials in the same room — and in the field.

Training & Talent

Workshops, youth STEM programs and clear workforce pathways — building the pilots, technicians and engineers the sector needs next.
