Chorus Aviation receives takeover proposal

(Reuters) - Canadian aircraft repair and overhaul services provider Chorus Aviation said on Friday it had received a non-binding acquisition proposal from a third party.

Dartmouth-based Chorus, however, said there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur.

Shares of Chorus, which has a market value of about C$383 million ($292 million), rose nearly seven per cent before being halted.
