Metro Aviation unveiled its new operational control center at its Shreveport, La., headquarters. The center is the focal point for coordination of Metro Aviation's more than 130 aircraft across 18 U.S. states. Five 60-inch displays show satellite tracking of aircraft and aircraft status, weather data, crew staffing information and real-time in-flight monitoring capability.

“This expansion keeps Metro at the forefront of regulatory compliance,” said Jim Arthur, director of regulatory compliance for Metro.
