A New Jersey town has filed a lawsuit against New York City, arguing that low-flying tourist helicopter tours violate local laws by operating over its airspace without proper authorization. Officials claim the flights were never permitted under existing regulations and have disrupted daily life with excessive noise and safety concerns. The legal action seeks to enforce restrictions that allegedly prevent such aerial tours from flying below a specified altitude over residential and sensitive areas. Residents and local leaders say the helicopters have become a growing nuisance, prompting the town to take legal steps to stop the practice.
