News: two Bristow AW189s grounded due to cracks

Post by Jack »

Cracks have been found on two offshore helicopters which have been in flight for less than a year.
The Bristow operated AW189s are being repaired after concerns were raised during maintenance.
Bristow has been using the craft to transport North Sea workers flying out of Norwich.
It is understood that the operator is the first to use the craft manufactured by AgustaWestland.
