“We have an excellent track record of setting up operations at pace, we know the region well, and we are confident this will be a great success. We are proud to provide our services at three of the largest Canadian airports and are well positioned to grow our business further alongside existing and new customers.”
As a result of this new license, ground services will begin this summer and continue until the end of 2030. Recruitment will also be a focus in order to match demand and train employees.
