As the first air medical program in the area, Metro Life Flight has remained committed to Northeast Ohio.  Since its inception in 1982, our priorities are to provide the highest level of care to those in need while implementing the highest safety standards in the industry. 

Our team consists of an outstanding group of nurses, physicians, medics, flight communication specialists, pilots, mechanics and support personnel.

Thanks to this impressive group of dedicated employees as well as to all of our referring institutions and EMS partners, we are proud of our successful thirty year history and look forward to many more years serving our communities

Each Metro Life Flight mission is completed with two pilots, both instrumented-rated, to maximize safety and enhance ability to fly in difficult weather conditions. Furthermore, our advanced medical crew consists of flight nurses, advanced certified nurse practitioners and physicians.

With three helicopters based in the communities, a critical care ground unit based at MetroHealth and the support of the MetroHealth system, we work closely with EMS and referring hospitals. We continually strive to provide ease of access to all of our partners through our auto-launch and auto-accept programs.

Metro Life Flight's aircraft are operated by Metro Aviation Incorporated, who hold a FAA Part 135 certificate for aviation operations.
