Volatus Aerospace Gains Clearance for High-Value RPAS Deployment in Oil & Gas Sector
Volatus has been approved by Two Major North American Oil & Gas Companies
TORONTO, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSXV: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: A3DP5Y/ABBA.F) is pleased to announce that last week it was approved by two leading North American oil and gas companies to provide drone-based aerial services in support of critical energy infrastructure. This approval follows a comprehensive flight operations review process conducted to validate Volatus’ operational readiness and safety protocols.
Under such engagement, Volatus will be eligible to perform a wide range of aerial services, including emergency callouts, pipeline surveillance, leak detection, magnetometry, and asset inspections. These operations will be performed using remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in coordination with Volatus’ existing traditional aircraft surveillance services.
“This approval expands our reach within the energy sector and positions us to deliver critical insights in a more flexible and cost-effective manner,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “We’re proud to be recognized for our professionalism, regulatory compliance, and ability to execute complex operations in sensitive environments.”
Based on internal forecasts, introducing drone operations into Volatus’ existing oil and gas surveillance portfolio has the potential to increase revenue in this segment by up to 20%, while maintaining operating cost profiles typical of the services delivered. These missions not only enhance situational awareness for asset operators but also support rapid response and risk mitigation, aligning with industry goals around safety and environmental protection.
Volatus Aerospace continues to expand its operational footprint in sectors that require precision, agility, and trust. From critical infrastructure monitoring to emergency response, our scalable drone programs are designed to complement and enhance traditional inspection models.
