Metro Aviation helps Midwest Medical Transport Company take to the air
7 JUN 2010- Shreveport, LA -- What began in 1987 as Platte County Ambulance Company in Columbus, Nebraska is now Midwest Medical Transport (MMT) and the company is taking to the air with their first air medical helicopter. Completed in Shreveport, Louisiana by Metro Aviation, the new, highly equipped patient transport Eurocopter EC135P2+ helicopter is configured for single pilot IFR (SPIFR) operations as well as night flight using night vision goggles for increased safety and efficiency. Based at North Platte Regional airport, Nebraska, this addition to the MMT fleet of ground ambulances will enter service this month and will provide professional, high quality air medical transportation to the residents of Nebraska and western Iowa.
Longtime helicopter completion specialist, Metro Aviation, Inc. performed the complex completion process that included an extensive avionics configuration and installation, custom paint process, air medical equipment fabrication and installation as well as final systems and aircraft checks prior to delivery to Midwest Medical Transport. In addition to air medical completions, Metro Aviation provides wide-ranging and comprehensive completions from law enforcement to corporate helicopter configurations.

Once we looked at Metro and their impressive facilities, highly trained staff, extensive experience and industry reputation, the choice was simple for us."
