Following a tragic helicopter crash in the Hudson River, state legislators and local communities are pushing for stricter regulations on commercial helicopter traffic. Proposed bills aim to reduce the number of helicopters departing from aviation facilities and impose additional taxes on non-essential flights. Meanwhile, a heliport in Kearny was issued a zoning violation for operating outside of designated hours. Despite these efforts, residents in areas like Jersey City and Hoboken continue to report significant helicopter traffic, highlighting the ongoing challenge of balancing commercial interests with community well-being.
