Statoil made an announcement that the 225 is through with them, Reuters released it earlier today. Tango123's link makes it look to me like there is no going back on that particular relationship. Interesting quotes form that article:
Airbus Group has expressed frustration at the local bans.
Really? The ban is a reflection of the frustration with your support of the aircraft.
In October Airbus Group's finance director Harald Wilhelm suggested Britain's decision to keep the aircraft grounded was related to the country's decision to leave the European Union.
Yeah, blame it on Brexit. Clever gambit. Pawn to Queen 4.
Britain's Civil Aviation Authority responded, saying that the decision was purely related to safety.
Check and mate.
