European aerospace giant Airbus has issued instructions for the immediate inspection of several models of its helicopters following an accident in Norway in which six people were killed.
About 400 aircraft are concerned by the order, which Airbus said should require about one hour per helicopter.
The firm said it had issued on Tuesday "an Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) instructing operators to conduct an inspection of the interface between the engine and the main gear box on all recently delivered H125 (AS350 B3e), AS550 and H130 helicopters."
