About Metro Aviation, Inc.

Metro Aviation, Inc. is divided into two primary areas of focus.

Our Aircraft Completion Center installs full Air Medical, Law Enforcement, and VIP/Corporate kits, components, and avionics packages for new and existing customers. Our completion center is the largest and most comprehensive Airbus completion center in the world.

In addition to the installations performed by our Aircraft Completion Center, we are also heavily involved in operating aircraft for hospitals across the country. We are a traditional provider meaning we have no medical employees on staff. We believe there should be a separation of duties in this regard as a serious conflict of interest can occur. Safety is our most important factor in deciding to fly.
