In fact, we have signed our first VIP completion project, an Agusta A109 for VIP transport that will be delivered to Brasil by mid 2013.”  Marcos Braga responded:  “I have conducted an exhaustive investigation of leading USA based completions centers to support my Brasilian client base and I’m confident that Metro-PAC has both the technical leadership and financial strength to provide outstanding service to the end customer.

Milton Geltz, Managing Director for Metro Aviation, Inc. stated, “To actively support the Brasilian market and assure quick delivery into Brasil both Metro Aviation, Inc and PAC International have completed applications and undergone onsite audits by Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC) the Brasilian civil aviation authority.  Metro has already received its ANAC Part 145 certificate and we expect receipt of the PAC certificate prior to this year’s Heli-Expo.”
