In September 2019, MITAC announced the creation of the "SpaceJet Montreal Centre" in the Boisbriand suburb of Montreal, initially employing around 100 staff to participate in Spacejet M90 certification and entry-into-service activities. Flight testing was being conducted from a site in Moses Lake, Washington, in partnership with AeroTEC,[8] before being stopped in May 2020 as a result of budget cuts in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, with uncertainty about whether testing will eventually resume.[9]
