Following the fatal accident involving CHC AS332L2 Super Puma G-WNSB on August 23, UK operators returned their helicopters back to service in late August. Four out of 18 passengers died when the aircraft came down in the sea two miles short of Sumborough Airport on the Shetland Islands. On Thursday, Aug. 29, CHC returned its Eurocopter AS332L2 Super Pumas to normal operational service to oil platforms in the North Sea. On the same day, Bond Offshore Helicopters returned its EC225 fleet to scheduled service with the caveat that it would only use its fleet of "crew change AS332L2s for non-passenger operations (maintenance, positioning and training flights)."
