The range.

Did the 225's have to make stops (or be positioned) out of Sumburgh to reach some of the further afield platforms?

What is it the 225 can do that the 92 can't? Is that important for the customer? If so, then we may well see a return to Aberdeen with the 225. After all, it's actually quite a nice aircraft and it does it job well (Disregarding the one in a million type freak accident)

If it happened again though even after all these additional safeguards, can you imagine the subsequent fall out.
