Bond Air Services has suspended flights of its EC 135 helicopter, the same model which crashed on to The Clutha bar in Glasgow, killing nine people.
The grounding comes after a fault was discovered on a EC 135 operated by Bond for the North West Air Ambulance.
Some 22 UK air ambulances and police force helicopters will be affected.
The EC 135 operated by Police Scotland came down on the busy Clutha bar at 22:25 on 29 November. Its three crew and six people in the pub were killed.
Bond Air Services: Yesterday, one of our EC135 fleet experienced an indication defect that requires further technical investigation. #clutha
