Stop the chop — that’s the slogan from a Brooklyn city councilmember who wants to ban tourists and the ultra-wealthy from hopping on helicopters that take off from New York City’s heliports
However, there are some who believe a ban on sightseeing tours from the sky could pour cold water on the city’s plan to rebound from the pandemic.
"The tour companies will have to move and operate somewhere else," said Jeffrey Smith, who runs the Eastern Regional Helicopter Council, the group that represents the helicopter industry in New York. Smith points out that helicopter operators have already made big sacrifices to appease critics. Back in 2016, tour operators chopped the number of flights in lower Manhattan by 50 percent. Operators also agreed to end all flights on Sundays."It’s a pretty big brush, especially post-COVID," he said."Folks with money, you know, come on! Do the right thing. We don’t want the noise," said Cruz.
