Latest News: After 30 years of airborne operations, with two last campaigns in June/July 2018 in Italy, and in September in Australia, MetAir has stopped it's own flying activities. The aircraft was sold to the Jade University of Applied Sciences in Wilhelmshaven (Germany), where it will continue to serve as a platform for environmental research.
MetAir will continue to digest the vast amount of data from these last campaigns, is offering consulting for similar projects, and will stay active in atmospheric research.
