Metro Aviation is expanding its capabilities with the creation of Metro Gulf, a new division that adds fixed-wing aircraft to the company’s extensive list of completion services.
The new division holds its own Part 145 Certificate and will provide maintenance, repair, and avionics services to Metro’s existing fixed-wing and rotor-wing fleet and external customers. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, Metro Gulf provides software and equipment upgrades, inspections and engineering, avionics support, full airframe rewiring, structural modifications, paint services, and more.
“We are excited to expand our capabilities and geography,” said Metro COO Kenny Morrow. “We are honored to welcome Joey Calandra and his team, formerly of Avionics Solutions, to the Metro Family.”
With the creation of Metro Gulf, Metro Aviation now has three MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) facilities to include PAC in Mount Pleasant, PA, Metro’s headquarters in Shreveport, LA, and Metro Gulf in Lafayette, LA.
“Having worked closely with Metro Aviation for many years, our team is proud to now become part of the Metro family, said Metro Gulf Director of Maintenance Joey Calandra. “We look forward to utilizing the talents of our seasoned workforce to contribute to Metro’s customer-centric completion efforts through this expansion.”
