TORONTO, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSXV: FLT, OTCQB: TAKOF, FSE: A3DP5Y) ("Volatus" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a new national agriculture contract supporting data-driven crop intelligence, awarded by a leading provider of crop intelligence technologies in North America. This contract positions Volatus at the forefront of precision agriculture, one of the fastest-growing applications of drone and remote sensing technology.

This contract aligns with those trends and demonstrates how Volatus is turning agricultural innovation into real revenue.

“This contract showcases Volatus' unique ability to scale drone operations efficiently across Canada,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Our growing network of local teams enables rapid mobilization in rural and remote areas, and this project sets the stage for future innovation using remotely operated and autonomous nested drone solutions to support the evolving needs of smart agriculture.”

Volatus remains committed to pushing the boundaries of aerial technology to enhance real-world applications. With field pilots currently conducting operations, the Company is also developing advanced operational models that incorporate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), remote operation, and drone-in-a-box technologies for continuous crop monitoring throughout the growing season.

This agriculture initiative strengthens Volatus’ growing commercial portfolio of drone-based services and further demonstrates its ability to execute large-scale, time-sensitive projects across diverse geographies and industries.
