RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Relationship with Transport Canada Again, TC doesn't contract. They give operational permits/licenses. But yes, getting a trial permit, and doing a successful job executing that is the pathway to commercial permits. But to be clear: Nobody in Canada has a commercial permit to do commercial BVLOS operations beyond these limited trials. And the 4 applicants who got trial permits are not allowed to make money on the trials. TC specifically avoided commercially advantaging one company over another.
The other 3 successful applicants were IndroRobotics, ING Robotics, and Canadian UAVs.
Keep in mind many companies are conducting BVLOS trials within Canada. These 4 slots were just one way to do it, and were as much about providing TC with data about BVLOS works as anything.
