Following
Wednesday's controlled crash of a Bristow Helicopter, NCAA (Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority) has suspended the operation of the Bristow Helicopters
Limited's Sikorsky S-76X++ type till further notice.
The
Helicopter crashed into the high sea around 10am on yesterday with 11
passengers including two crew members on board.
According
to Daily Trust, it is the same type of Helicopter operated by the company that
was involved in a crash on August the 12th, 2015 killing six of the 12 souls on
board.
Due
to frequency of the crash involving the aircraft type, the NCAA decided to suspended
the operation of the series to enable it carry out a full scale investigation
on its operations with particular emphasis on its Sikorsky S- 76C++ type.
