A company begins
Charter, flight training, and aircraft maintenance form the first operating foundation.
The enterprise
Capability grows
from commitment.
Metro Aviation began in 1982 as a helicopter charter, flight-training, and maintenance operation. The following year, two Hughes 500-D helicopters began an air-medical partnership in Shreveport.
The surviving tour records what that beginning grew into: an interconnected workplace where engineering, fabrication, avionics, operations control, maintenance, training, inventory, safety, and flight support meet under one roof.
This is a story of scale, but also of continuity. Skills pass between people. Problems are met by building new capabilities. Aircraft leave the facility prepared for missions in which reliability, time, and judgment matter.
Current historical and operational context is drawn from Metro Aviation’s official company history and current public site. The narration inside the tour remains the original commissioned text.
