Metro Aviation’s completion center delivered 24 aircraft completions in the past year, along with multiple refurbishment, mission upgrade, and inspection projects, the Shreveport, Louisiana-based company said during Verticon in Atlanta. It is displaying an EC145 C2 and an AW09 at its booth this week, and other examples of its completions are on display at the Airbus booth.
The company won a multi-ship completion contract through Davenport Aviation to modernize the New York State Police (NYSP) Aviation Unit and has delivered two H145 aircraft, with additional rotorcraft scheduled for completion in the coming years.
Metro Gulf completed 19 helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft during the same period. PAC International completed or refurbished 21 aircraft and performed 64 component overhauls along with 72 maintenance jobs.
Metro is displaying a refurbished Airbus Helicopters EC145 C2 completed for Wellstar AirCare at its Verticon booth. The helicopter supports Wellstar’s expansion of critical care transport capabilities across Georgia and the Southeast.
“Through our partnership with Metro Aviation, AirCare was proud to add the EC145 C2 to operate alongside our EC145 C2e aircraft,” said Wellstar AirCare program director Zack Lancaster. “This expansion strengthens Wellstar AirCare's ability to rapidly deliver specialized care and critical transport services when and where patients need them most.”
Metro is also featuring the Leonardo AW09 at its booth. Several Metro-completed aircraft are showcased at the Airbus booth, including the New York State Police H145 D3 and Memorial Hermann Health System’s H160.
