Volatus Aerospace and Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. to Collaborate for Logistics Operations Management
Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV:VOL; OTCQB:VLTTF) has announced a collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric US to use the AnyMile™ drone-based logistics platform for end-to-end logistics management.

The AnyMile platform aims to simplify and scale package delivery logistics for customers. Volatus's CEO Glen Lynch highlighted the goal of making drone delivery as seamless as traditional carrier services. Mitsubishi's VP of Innovation, Zafer Sahinoglu, emphasized the reliability and comprehensive nature of the AnyMile platform.
