Airliners crash relatively often, and airlines do not normally ground the machines. BUT, if an A380 had its wings fall off on short final to Heathrow, killing 450 people...you'd probably see a grounding. Offshore is a business-to-business operation, with the passengers highly organised and unionised. AIRBUS have not issued a grounding, which means nothing. If the offshore companies/pax don't want to travel in the EC225, then the machine will not be used for offshore. End of story. Bring me another helicopter, Mr CHC.
