The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded New York Helicopter Charter, the company involved in a recent Hudson River crash that killed all six people on board. The FAA issued an emergency order to ground the company, in part because the director of operations had been fired. The Bell 206 helicopter crashed into the Hudson River last week, killing Siemens executive Agustín Escobar, his wife, their three children, and the pilot. New York Helicopter Charter had voluntarily stopped flights after the crash. The FAA is conducting an investigation into the crash and is also reviewing the company’s operations through the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program.
