OFFSHORE workers are disappointed and frustrated at the lack of information about what caused a helicopter to ditch in the sea near Shetland, a union leader has said.
All 19 people on the CHC-operated aircraft were rescued after the incident on Monday. The ditched helicopter was salvaged and arrived at Peterhead harbour on the Aberdeenshire coast yesterday.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) has begun an inquiry. CHC and two other offshore helicopter companies, Bond and Bristow, have suspended their use of the Super Puma EC225.
