NYC Helitour Operators Forced To Accept 50% Flight Cut

Reductions will begin in April, with an elimination of all Sunday flights, followed by 20 percent cuts each in June and October and 10 percent in January.

Liberty Helicopters and four other operators offering helitours from Downtown Manhattan Heliport will have to halve the number of flights they conduct by January 2017, according to an executive order signed by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio this week. (Photo: Liberty Helicopters)
