Singapore has apparently delayed a decision on a $1 billion replacement programme of its AS332M Super Puma after the crash of a civilian Airbus H225 in April. The H225 is a modernised version of the Super Puma. The military version, the H225M was the frontrunner to clinch the order according to some sources. The Republic of Singapore Air Force operates a fleet of AS322M Super Pumas with an average age of 27 years. It seems that Singapore is awaiting clarity over the cause of the April 29 crash which killed 13 oil rig workers and air crew off the coast of Norway.
