Reduces helicopter operations at certain aviation facilities licensed by State.
S 275 requires licensed airports, heliports, and helistops in New Jersey to reduce helicopter flights by 47% on weekdays compared to the previous year's average. It exempts flights by emergency medical services, military/federal authorities, hospitals, healthcare providers, and news agencies. The bill also bans tourist/sightseeing helicopter operations between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on weekdays and 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. on weekends. These rules aim to reduce noise pollution at aviation facilities but are pending final legislative approval.
