Life Air Rescue
Building a Stronger Statewide Network
Shreveport-based Life Air Rescue is a part of Acadian Air Med’s network of rotor-wing and fixed-wing operations. Life Air Rescue operates under a partnership between Acadian Air Med and Metro Aviation.
Life Air Rescue responds to emergency scene calls and interfacility transfers within a 150-mile base radius covering North Louisiana, East Texas, South Arkansas and West Mississippi.
The partnership expands Acadian Air Med’s network, which previously included 11 EC-135 and EC-145 helicopters, as well as King Air and Lear fixed-wing aircraft strategically based throughout Louisiana.
Life Air Rescue has transported approximately 600 patients annually and strives to uphold the highest standards in emergency and critical care transport.
Trendsetting Service

Each flight is staffed by a certified flight paramedic and a certified flight RN. Metro Aviation provides pilots and mechanics for both Air Med and Life Air Rescue and maintains operational control of all aircraft.
