Metro Makes Gains with EC145e, Simulators
Metro Aviation is placing four more Airbus Helicopters EC145es with air ambulance operators in Wisconsin and West Virginia.

Metro Aviation continues to gain EMS helicopter market share with its Airbus Helicopters EC145e program. This month, Metro won a tender to supply Madison, Wisconsin-based UW Health Med Flight with three of the Airbus medium twins and also secured an order for one by HealthNet Aeromedical Services in Charleston, West Virginia. Metro will replace Air Methods as the supplier of helicopters and crews for the UW contract, effective in May.
