Five Eurocopters To Be Outfitted For EMS, Single-Pilot IFR

Metro Aviation, Inc. reports it has entered into a contract with STAT MedEvac for three EC135 and two EC145 helicopter completions. This is a continuation of a relationship that began with the introduction of the first EC135 aircraft in the United States, which was completed by Metro Aviation, Inc., for operation by STAT MedEvac.

Metro Aviation will receive and begin completion of the first contracted aircraft in January 2012. Each aircraft will be equipped with EMS, SPIFR, air-conditioning and a lengthy list of optional equipment.

The final completed aircraft is scheduled for delivery in August 2012. Shipment of the EC145’s to STAT MedEvac will mark the 65th and 66th EC145’s to be completed by Metro Aviation, Inc. in its nearly 30-year history.

Metro Aviation, Inc. was established in 1982 as a helicopter charter, flight training, and maintenance operation facility. The company has grown substantially in the years since, and now serves as an FAA certified Airframe Modification, Maintenance, Inspection and Repair center.
