Metro Aviation

Metro Aviation is an aircraft company based in Shreveport, Louisiana. Its website says it operates aircraft for air medical and other programs across the United States. It also completes aircraft and provides maintenance support. The company works from a 180,000 square foot facility in Shreveport.

Its stated mission is to provide the safest and highest quality aircraft operations, completions, and maintenance. The website says this helps customers complete their missions, lets employees develop their talents, and keeps the company financially stable. Metro holds more than 30 Supplemental Type Certificates and completes about 35 aircraft each year for U.S. and global customers.

The operations service provides pilots and maintenance technicians for air medical aircraft. These aircraft respond to emergency scene calls and carry patients between hospitals. The work is supported by an Operational Control Center. The website says the crews support rapid response for adult, pediatric, newborn, and high risk patients.

The completions center offers a full range of modification and upgrade packages for new and existing customers. The company installs air medical and law enforcement kits, components, and avionics packages. The site says it also has experience with offshore, utility, VIP, and corporate aircraft.

The MetroAlert app lets hospitals and first responders alert a Metro base and send GPS coordinates through a Helo Alert function. The website says this can reduce response time by up to five minutes. Customer support includes maintenance support, inventory support, and an annual leadership seminar for the Metro Family of partners.

Metro works with hospital partners across the country and provides air medical transport to communities. The company employs more than 330 military veterans in many roles. The site also lists the EC145e and the Helicopter Flight Training Center as related companies.

In October 2026, Metro unveiled an H140 medical interior concept at the Air Medical Transport Conference in Fort Worth. It also introduced MetroAero Sim, a rotorcraft training platform. LifeNet Air began a partnership with Metro on October 1, 2026, with in house Air Dispatch at its Hot Springs center.
