Shreveport, Louisiana headquartered aeromedical operations provider Metro Aviation has appointed Jay Thanabalasundrum in his new role as avionics manager. Thanabalasundrum has been serving as the interim avionics manager since January, but began his Metro career 23 years ago as an avionics installer.

“Jay is extremely technical and hard-working. He is driven and dedicated to getting the job done and doing it correctly,” says Part 145 director of maintenance Shawn Bruton. “He spends countless hours on the phone providing technical support for our Part 135 team in the field, and we're proud to have him as our avionics shop manager.”

Metro Aviation's completion centre and repair station delivers an average of 35 aircraft annually.
