The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded New York Helicopter Charter, the company that operated the sightseeing tour that crashed into the Hudson River last week. The grounding was due in part to the company’s director of operations being fired. The Bell 206 helicopter crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday, killing all six people aboard, including an executive from Siemens, his family, and the pilot. New York Helicopter Charter had voluntarily suspended flights after the crash. The FAA is conducting an investigation and review of the company’s operations through the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program.
