And after? A planned line in Canada

If no line is yet valid in Europe despite contacts with Marseille and the Normandy region, an English private fund has just made an offer of 500 million euros to finance the first part of an infrastructure connecting the city of Edmonton its airport, in the province of Alberta, in western Canada. All the actors there are benevolent and want it to happen. The first phase will allow certification. Then the line must continue to Calgary. A few weeks ago, we published the results of the feasibility study for this line, which amounts to 22 billion Canadian dollars, or 14.7 billion euros. We also have an interesting partnership project with the DHL delivery man for the cargo part. . As for the take-off of the project, Sbastien Gendron puts it into perspective. It may seem like a long time, but if you look at Space X’s schedule, for example, it took eight years to get off the ground and it was not far from bankruptcy in 2008. We, it’s been five years and we are. a turning point. We must continue to grow while saving the budget, because we are still in discussions for our global fundraising. We have many more very interested prospects than a year ago, including some very large investors. Some pension funds are even ready to invest a lot, but they prefer to wait without taking any risk, even if it means paying more at the end. .
