I’m not on the banning side, but to make it comparable by risk we would need to know the number of flights.
Ten miljon pax would be two million flights, right (thinking all flights was 5 pax in average).
This is 110 flights every day for 50 years, with the 5pax cabin factor in average.
This is 14 flights every hour if performed 8h 7 days a week.
14 flights an hour is ~ 3-4 helos doing 20 min back-to-back flights constantly. I have no knowledge of the number of helicopters doing this during the 50 years but I think it was not tens of millions?
In this case it was the eight tour of the day at 3 pm.
