Helicopter operations in and around New York could be restricted with the passage of the so-called “Stop the Chop” bill that seeks to ban certain tourist flights and allow people to more easily sue helicopter operators and their employees.
Aviation advocacy groups including the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the Helicopter Association International (HAI) are calling on their members and others to contact New York Governor Kathy Hochul and urge her to veto the bill, which has passed in both houses of the state legislature.
