DORVAL, Québec, October 6, 2026 — EVIO and specialist regional aircraft lessor, TrueNoord, today announced that EVIO has joined the TrueNoord New Technology Hub, a collaborative initiative focused on supporting the introduction of next-generation regional aircraft technologies that will significantly reduce their emissions.

Through the collaboration, EVIO and TrueNoord will explore key operating economic parameters such as maintenance, financing, leasing, and infrastructure, while sharing relevant technical and market insights. TrueNoord offers regional aircraft market expertise and benchmarking data, while EVIO will contribute evolving aircraft specifications and operating-cost modelling associated with the EVIO 810 aircraft. 

“The EVIO 810 is being designed to provide a more responsible and economically viable path forward for regional aviation,” said Michael Derman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, EVIO. “TrueNoord shares our focus on what it will take for next-generation aircraft to succeed in the real operating environment while delivering meaningful reductions in emissions. Bringing together our aircraft development perspective with their regional leasing and market expertise will help deepen industry understanding of the commercial and operational considerations that need to be addressed as new low-emissions aircraft technologies are introduced to regional aviation.”

The TrueNoord New Technology Hub is designed to bring together aircraft developers and other industry stakeholders to address the commercial and operational considerations associated with next-generation aircraft. Future collaboration may also involve airlines, technology providers and other aviation stakeholders whose input will be important to the successful introduction of new aircraft technologies. 

Anne-Bart Tieleman, TrueNoord CEO, added, “We are pleased to welcome EVIO as the latest member of the TrueNoord New Technology Hub and look forward to working with their team. As the aviation industry explores the developments that will shape the next generation of regional aircraft, the commercial and operational realities need to be considered alongside innovation. Through the Hub, we can contribute our experience as a regional aircraft lessor while gaining a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges hybrid-electric aircraft could present for airlines and lessors. Ultimately, the aim is to help make the economics of these aircraft attractive enough for customers to take the next step.”

The collaboration reflects a shared focus on improving the economics and environmental performance of regional aviation through the development and adoption of more efficient aircraft technologies.

DORVAL, Québec, June 17, 2026 — EVIO today celebrated the official opening of its new office in Dorval, bringing together the company’s engineering, operations, supply chain, and corporate support functions under one roof. Backed by investment from Boeing, the facility is home to more than 35 employees supporting the development of EVIO’s hybrid-electric regional aircraft program.

Located across from the YUL Montréal–Trudeau International Airport, the new office places the company within one of North America’s leading aerospace clusters, close to engineering talent, suppliers, customers, and research capabilities that can support the next phase of development of the EVIO 810 aircraft. EVIO expects to employ over 100 people in Québec by the end of 2027, creating high-value jobs, and strengthening engagement with Québec’s aerospace supply chain. Longer term, the company projects its aircraft program will generate over 10,000 jobs across the value chain.

“We are delighted to officially open our Dorval office and celebrate this important step in EVIO’s growth in Quebec,” said Michael Derman, CEO of EVIO. “Canada has a world-class aerospace ecosystem, and Montreal has been home to some of aviation’s most important innovations. That legacy of engineering excellence makes this an exciting place to advance the EVIO 810 aircraft program. We are grateful for Boeing’s investment and for the support of our Canadian partners as we grow our presence in Quebec and work to bring a new generation of hybrid-electric regional aircraft to market.”

Inauguration event

EVIO marked the grand opening with an inauguration event, hosted by Colonel Chris Hadfield, and attended by EVIO employees and invited guests, including representatives from Boeing, Pratt & Whitney Canada, ADM Aéroports de Montréal, and other ecosystem partners as well as Dorval Mayor, Marc Doret.

“EVIO’s arrival in Dorval reflects our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the future of aerospace. With Boeing’s support, this new office positions Dorval at the forefront of hybrid‑electric aircraft development and contributes to long‑term economic growth for our region,” said Marc Doret, Mayor of the City of Dorval. “As a city known for its exceptional quality of life, strong infrastructure, and dynamic business environment, Dorval offers an ideal setting for companies to grow and for residents to flourish. We are proud to welcome EVIO and look forward to the positive impact their growth will have on Dorval and the greater Montréal region.”

Investment supporting growth under Canada’s ITB program

The establishment of EVIO’s Dorval office is supported in part by a $43 million CAD investment from Boeing to support EVIO’s presence and growth in Québec. This investment is part of the CP8A Poseidon Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB) program.

“Quebec has long been a cornerstone of Canada’s aerospace excellence, and Boeing’s $43 million CAD CP8A Poseidon ITB investment in EVIO’s Dorval office marks the next chapter in our commitment to the province,” said Al Meinzinger, president of Boeing Canada. “Boeing has announced $300 million CAD in CP8A Poseidon ITB investments to companies in Quebec over the past two years, underscoring our confidence in the province’s talent and industrial capabilities. This investment supports EVIO’s engineering and hybrid-electric technology research and development work, strengthens local supply chains, and creates high value jobs. We are proud to support EVIO and Quebec’s vibrant aerospace ecosystem.”
