Metro Aviation expects to receive an FAA supplemental type certificate in June for an air medical  interior in the Airbus Helicopters H160. According to the Shreveport, Louisiana-based company, the H160 platform allows air medical providers to serve broader geographic areas and transport critically ill patients, including cases requiring specialized care, across greater distances.

Memorial Hermann’s H160 on display at the recent Verticon show is being used as the conforming aircraft for the STC program. Metro Aviation is completing a second H160 for another customer with a similar configuration.
