Purolator enhances air network as demand for express shipping continues to rise

TORONTO, May 5, 2021 /CNW/ - Purolator today announced it is enhancing its express air network capacity through a new service agreement with Voyageur Aviation Corp, a subsidiary of Chorus Aviation Inc. (TSX: CHR) and headquartered in North Bay, Ont. Purolator can now offer more service options as its cross-border and overall business continues to grow.

"Purolator is always investing in our network to meet the needs of our customers," says Chris Spanjaard, Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Purolator. "This agreement with Voyageur complements our existing network and enhances our capability to service our cross-border business and customers with high-priority express shipments."
