Statement received this morning from Bond Air Services.
During normal operations yesterday, one of our EC135 fleet has experienced an indication defect that requires further technical investigation. Therefore as a precautionary measure we have temporarily suspended service operations whilst we undertake detailed diagnosis. We commenced investigations overnight, are continuing this morning and are in close liaison with Eurocopter regarding this investigation.
We apologise for the disruption to service and expect to provide a further update around 10.30 GMT.
Further statement at 1140
Further to our update earlier this morning we can confirm that we continue to investigate the technical fault that resulted in us temporarily suspending service operations yesterday. We are now conducting functional tests across each of our EC135 aircraft in order to gather more specific information.
Eurocopter tell me that the wording is important. This is not a grounding, they say.
