Press and Journal - Article - Bond cleared of blame for helicopter ditching
Helicopter manufacturer Eurocopter has cleared operator Bond of any blame for a ditching incident in the North Sea last month.
The aviation giant – which built the Super Puma which had to make an emergency landing on the sea off Aberdeen last month – said Bond was not responsible for the accident.
Two crew and 12 passengers had to be rescued in what was the third serious incident involving a Bond Super Puma in three years.
Eurocopter said the skill of the Bond pilots and the design of the aircraft saved their lives.
