Metro Aviation has added fixed-wing aircraft to its list of completion services with the creation of Metro Gulf. The new division holds its own Part 145 certificate and will provide maintenance, repair, and avionics services to Metro’s existing fleet and those of external customers. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Metro Gulf provides software and equipment upgrades, inspections and engineering, avionics support, full airframe rewiring, structural modifications, and paint services.

“We are excited to expand our capabilities and geography,” said Metro Aviation COO Kenny Morrow. “We are honored to welcome [director of maintenance] Joey Calandra and his team, formerly of Avionics Solutions, to the Metro family.”
