In the wake of a tragic helicopter crash in New York that claimed the lives of six people, including a prominent Siemens executive and his family, New York Helicopter Tours has announced an immediate shutdown of its operations. The FAA is reviewing the company’s safety records and licenses while cooperating with the NTSB's ongoing investigation. The lack of flight data recorders on the helicopter and the timing of its operational flights raise significant safety concerns, prompting further analysis of aviation safety practices nationwide.
The operator of the helicopter involved in a crash that killed six people in New York last week is shutting down immediately, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA said it is analyzing helicopter and airplane hotspots across the US and will host a helicopter safety panel on April 22 to discuss findings, risks, and additional mitigation measures.
