North Sea helicopters grounded: Everything we know so far

Sikorsky S-92 helicopter flights have all been grounded today after an Alert Service Bulletin was issued.

Here’s what we know so far.

The decision was made in the wake of an incident at the end of December involving a landing of a helicopter onto a North Sea platform operated by French oil major Total.

At the time a source described how the S-92 took “gouges out” of the helideck, damaged its wheels and spun on the deck of the West Franklin platform when it was forced to land.
