Metro Aviation recently delivered an Airbus Helicopters EC135P2+ to Melbourne, Florida healthcare system Health First for use by its air ambulance service First Flight. The EC135 is equipped with Metro’s standard EMS interior, a Ferno litter, and the Outerlink IRIS satcom and tracking system. It is also single-pilot IFR equipped and will replace an older VFR-only helicopter.

“We have provided services for HealthFirst for the past 28 years, operating their previous EC135 for 23 of those years,” said Metro COO Kenny Morrow.
