The Air Medical Operators Association (AMOA) is a non-profit association representing Part 135 Certificate Holders engaged in emergency medical services. AMOA was officially incorporated in February 2009, but many members initially joined in 2000 as the EMS Executive Operators Forum.

In our short history, AMOA has already played a major role in improving aviation safety by encouraging cooperation between regulators and the air medical community; enhancing training, operational control, and safety management systems; and implementing new technologies, such as night vision goggles and helicopter terrain alert warning systems.

United in Safety.
