Knighthawk Air Express Ltd. was a cargo airline based in Canada, which operated primarily within Canada, from hubs located in Calgary, the westernmost base, Ottawa, and Montreal. It operated cargo services on behalf of express package services including Purolator, Airborne Express and FedEx.[1]
The airline was established in December 1993. In October 2003, it filed for bankruptcy. In June 2004, Knighthawk Air restarted operations.[1]
On May 16, 2005, Knighthawk Air Express received a cancellation notice for both of its routes effective from May 28, 2005. The airline immediately took steps to reduce operating costs and distribute assets.
