All S92 helicopters around the world, including those at Newquay, had to undergo a mandatory inspection with repairs made if necessary.
Helicopters at Sumburgh, Stornoway, Humberside, Newquay and Inverness are all now back in service, bosses said.
Damien Oliver, Assistant Director with responsibility for aviation at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said: "This was a highly unusual situation but we were prepared and we pulled out every stop.

There are calls for Plymouth to introduce a food waste collection service when it starts fortnightly bin collections in May.
The Plymouth Food Waste Partnership has released the results of a 12-month feasibility study today.
It says fortnightly waste collections work best if food waste is collected weekly to prevent smells, vermin and mess.
Staff from the study will be putting their findings to the city council later this month.

Saracens captain Brad Barritt has been banned for three weeks after admitting to a dangerous tackle on Exeter lock Geoff Parling on Saturday.
Richard Barrington, sent off for his part in the incident, was cleared of dangerous charging by a Rugby Football Union disciplinary panel. Prop Barrington, 27, is now free to play again immediately, while Barritt, 30, is suspended until 31 January.
Image source, Rex FeaturesBarritt had initially tackled Parling high and Barrington followed up with a shoulder into the head of the 33-year-old England international, who was carried off on a stretcher.
Under the new interpretation of the high-tackle rules, which came into effect on 3 January, Barrington was sent off by referee Ian Tempest. However, the panel at Tuesday's hearing in London judged Parling was already unconscious from Barritt's tackle and fell into the contact with Barrington.
