Endeavor Air is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines which operates services across the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. The Mirror has approached Delta regarding Tuesday's incident. This comes after a helicopter travelling to a North Sea platform was forced to make an urgent landing after it declared a mid-air emergency this morning. The Airbus H175 took off from Aberdeen heliport shortly before 8am and headed north-east over the North Sea. However the chopper, operated by Offshore Helicopter Services, was forced to turn back part-way through its journey out to one of the platforms in the area. Just minutes into the flight, the helicopter crew issued a 7700 squawk code, the air traffic control code of a general emergency. The aircraft, which typically holds up to 18 passengers, made a U-turn over the ocean before heading back to Aberdeen heliport for a safe landing. A spokesperson for Offshore Helicopter Services UK Ltd said: “Following standard safety procedures, an Airbus 175 returned to Aderdeen Airport this morning shortly after take-off. The aircraft landed without incident.”
