US fixed and rotary wing operator Metro Aviation has chosen Bluetail’s digital solution to streamline maintenance records across its helicopter fleet.

With over 170 helicopters and airplanes operating under more than 40 medical programmes across 25 states, Metro Aviation is a recognised leader in air medical operations. Transitioning from paper-based records to Bluetail’s cloud-based system eliminates time-consuming ‘box diving’ by providing a centralised hub for 24/7 access from anywhere. This allows maintenance teams to quickly search, retrieve and share critical records, reducing aircraft downtime and ensuring compliance.

“Metro Aviation has always been committed to utilising the best tools available to support our operations, and Bluetail’s solution is a perfect fit for our needs,” says Kenny Morrow, COO at Metro Aviation. “The ability to quickly search and access records instead of sifting through boxes will save us countless hours while ensuring our documents remain secure and always accessible.”

Bluetail has recently expanded its platform to better serve helicopter operators, incorporating features tailored to rotorcraft maintenance and AI-powered search capabilities. Additionally, Bluetail’s efficient scanning services ensure Metro Aviation’s decades of historical records are digitised and indexed for seamless retrieval.

“For air medical operators like Metro Aviation, fast, secure access to maintenance records isn’t just a convenience – it’s essential,” notes Roberto Guerrieri, CEO and co-founder of Bluetail. “Our solution streamlines operations, enhances compliance and ensures teams always have the information they need at their fingertips from any location.”

This partnership reinforces Metro Aviation’s commitment to efficiency, security and innovation in helicopter maintenance management.
