Oil giant Shell has abandoned plans to sign a major contract with Bond Offshore Helicopters, BBC Scotland has learned.
The oil firm said it was not able to achieve sufficient assurance about Bond’s operations.
Shell is conducting an ongoing review of its helicopter services contract across its North Sea operations.
Bond temporarily suspended helicopter flights after one of its Super Pumas ditched in the North Sea.
All 14 passengers and crew involved in the incident on 10 May were rescued.
Its fleet of 10 helicopters returned to service, following engineering analysis and safety risk assessment.
The RMT union claimed safety representatives onboard several Shell platforms raised concerns about a deal with Bond.
Shell said it would continue to use Bristow Helicopters.
Earlier this week, the managing director of Bond Offshore Helicopters announced he was stepping down, as a review of operations was launched.
A spokesman for the company said: “We met with Shell and are working with them to address their concerns.
“They explained to us that as there is so little time left in the bid process that we needed more time than is available.
“Shell made clear to Bond that they want and encourage us to bid for future tenders and we look forward to doing so.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
