New Choppers for HealthNet

Metro Aviation has been awarded a completion contract to finish two air medically configured helicopters for HealthNet Aeromedical Services based in Charleston, WV. HealthNet, a longtime air medical provider, will receive the new EC135 and EC145 as additions to their current operating fleet. The HealthNet aircraft will receive the comprehensive air medical interior, avionics, and exterior finishing at the Metro main facility located in Shreveport, LA. The company will complete the aircraft in a SPIFR configuration with night vision capable cockpits complete with the latest generation avionics and safety equipment that exceed all the recent NTSB recommendations for air medical helicopters. Both aircraft will also receive the Metro designed and STC'd air conditioning system prior to delivery early next year. Metro continues to lead all other completion centers in air medical EC135 and EC145 deliveries. Metro is an FAA approved repair station, approved Eurocopter Service Center and FAR Part 135 air medical operations provider at several locations across the United States.
