Usual BBC over dramatic headline of 'emergency landing"
FR24 shows 2 x S92 dispatched for down-manning the platform. Wing man overhauls the OEI aircraft and leaves him to his night overwater OEI transit and approach.
So to turn a non story into a meaningful discussion: would you shepherd the OEI aircraft on his diversion to nearest suitable or would you press on with your pax to original destination?
Maybe they were concerned about the runway possibly being fouled by the OEI aircraft.
