New York Helicopter, a longtime operator of sightseeing flights over the city, faced significant financial troubles prior to a tragic crash into the Hudson River that killed all six aboard. The company has been involved in multiple debt lawsuits in recent years, including lawsuits for unpaid leases and loans, and underwent bankruptcy in 2019. Despite claims of a strong safety record, the company had a history of maintenance issues, and after a downturn in operations, it has struggled financially while providing tours of prominent NYC landmarks.
