Metro Aviation: Strengthening Operational Control with Vellox Ops Suite
Vellox Ops Suite, a web-based operations platform, modernized Metro Aviation's OCC to enhance visibility and compliance. This transition to a unified digital environment has improved oversight and mission coordination across their fleet.
About Metro Aviation
Headquartered in Louisiana, Metro Aviation operates and maintains aircraft for leading healthcare systems and government agencies across the country. The company is widely recognized for its commitment to safety, quality, and operational innovation.
As Metro expanded its network of air medical programs, maintaining real-time oversight and regulatory compliance across multiple locations became increasingly complex. The team needed a single, integrated platform to manage mission control efficiently and securely.
The Challenge
Metro’s growing operation relied on legacy systems that limited accessibility and created barriers to data sharing and compliance reporting. Operational controllers and flight coordinators required a centralized solution that could support 24/7 mission oversight while aligning with FAA Part 135 requirements.
Key challenges included:
- Limited visibility into aircraft and crew activity in real time
- Difficulty maintaining complete, auditable compliance records
- Constrained system access outside the main operations center
- Redundant manual workflows across disconnected platforms
To maintain its leadership in safety and efficiency, Metro sought a system capable of unifying its operational processes under one modern, web-based framework.
The Solution: Vellox Ops Suite (formerly Complete Flight)
Metro Aviation implemented the Vellox Ops Suite (formerly Complete Flight) to power its Operational Control Center, replacing legacy systems with a digital platform purpose-built for aviation operations.
Key Capabilities
- Web-Based Operational Access – Enables secure, flexible oversight from any authorized location.
- Compliance and Audit Readiness – Automated logs and digital records ensure alignment with FAA standards.
- Real-Time Mission Visibility – Consolidates fleet tracking, crew scheduling, and operational updates in one dashboard.
- Scalable Architecture – Supports future integrations with maintenance, safety, and analytics systems.
“The web-based platform gives us flexibility, redundancy, and real-time visibility we simply didn’t have before—it allows us to focus on mission success instead of managing disconnected systems,” says a Metro Aviation.
