"It is not used for scheduled passenger services"
Oddly enough, it has been, in what was then the largest helicopter network, between Glasgow and various destinations in the west of Scotland, including Fort William, Oban, Rothesay, etc. with a list of exemptions as long as your arm. It was a safe machine then and it is now - this I feel is a one-off, like the incidents with the 212 and TT straps. As bell ringer says, it is a proven platform and I believe it was at one time (if not still) the safest single engined aircraft, based on hours flown.
