Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many additional flight hours have been accrued to date by other helicopter models following the Civil Aviation Authority’s decision of 11 May 2016 to suspend the commercial use of Super Puma helicopter models (a) EC225LP and (b) AS332L2 in the offshore oil and gas industry.

The Department does not hold this information. The CAA does collect hours flown data as part of the process for maintaining the certificate of airworthiness for each aircraft, but this data is at the aggregate level (i.e. not broken down by operational uses) and only up to the end of the previous year (i.e. those in 2017 would have provided 2016 data).
