(DNAINFO)  Irene Plagianos — A proposed City Council bill calls for a complete “moratorium” on what many have called unbearably noisy tourist helicopter flights.

The legislation, which is still in draft form, would ban tourist trips in helicopters, the Daily News first reported.

Lower Manhattan residents and local elected officials have long complained about what they say is the constant noise from tourist helicopters whirring overhead. Tourist helicopter trips take off and land in only one spot in New York City: the Financial District’s Pier 6, in the East River. There are currently five companies that operate from the city-owned heliport.
