Mothballed Super Pumas.
The Scottish Government is “reviewing” whether it will back calls for a full public inquiry into helicopter safety offshore.
The Unite and RMT unions, along with north east labour MSP Lewis Macdonald met with transport minister Michael Matheson and energy minister Paul Wheelhouse at the Scottish Parliament yesterday.
It comes after a crash involving a Super Puma 225 helicopter off the Norwegian island of Turoy in 2016, which killed 13 people including Iain Stuart from Laurencekirk.
