Norway shuns UK offshore helicopter safety rule changes

[mhm]

Authorities in Norway have criticised some of the changes to the UK's offshore helicopter industry which are being introduced this week.

The Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said it has no plans to duplicate the 32 safety improvements planned for Scottish offshore helicopters.

The Scandinavian country has not seen a serious helicopter crash since 1998.
