Rescuers recovered three bodies in the aftermath of the crash and the fourth was removed from the wreckage this afternoon.

“We are also working with the industry to help support all of those affected.”

Super Pumas grounded

Helicopter operator CHC said it has grounded the AS332 L2 aircraft which ditched without warning while carrying 18 workers on Friday evening.

The company has also suspended all UK commercial flights of three other Super Puma models following a recommendation from an aviation safety association.

The offshore industry’s Helicopter Safety Steering Group (HSSG) urged the precautionary measure until there is “sufficient factual information” to resume flights.
