Since they don't seem to have a clue why this happened it is quite difficult to foresee a fix that will be considered convincing. And even after a potential fix it will take a significant time until a bit of trust would be restored. Realistically the 225 is more or less dead, at least in the North Sea O&G industry. Probably time for AH to accelerate work on the successor. Hopefully they learn the lesson and don't try to cut too many corners to shave the last ounce of the design.
