The families of victims of the Super Puma tragedy have received a share of £15 million in accident compensation.
All 14 passengers on board the Super Puma AS 33L Mk 2 died in 2009 on the North Sea flight from BP's Miller platform. Now, around ten of the relatives' claims have been settled with the helicopter operator's insurance firm.
The payouts varied according to the men's ages, salaries and family situation. However, some relatives told the press that the amount of money received doesn't matter as “nothing will bring these people back”.
One woman who had received accident compensation told the Scottish Daily Record: “We are happy with the compensation payments but we are still not able to draw a line under this and move forward.
"We still have the publication of the official Air Accidents Investigation Branch report to face. We take one day at a time.”
The report is expected to provide more information regarding the “catastrophic failure” that led to the loss of the aircraft's main rotor.
Meanwhile, the partners of the two pilots involved in the accident have raised separate claim actions understood to be worth around £4 million.
