“We are proud to be part of this groundbreaking project,” said Amy McMullen, Metro’s Director of Aircraft Configuration. “Our team has worked closely with H160 EMS customers and Airbus engineers, even traveling to France to experience the aircraft firsthand, ensuring we deliver exactly what our customers need.”
