Fault in a tourist helicopter crash can fall on several parties, depending on the circumstances.

The pilot may be responsible if there was negligence, such as poor decision-making, flying in unsafe weather, or violating aviation protocols.

The tour company could be liable for inadequate maintenance, hiring unqualified pilots, or failing to follow safety procedures.

In some cases, the helicopter manufacturer or maintenance providers may be at fault if a mechanical defect or improper servicing contributed to the crash.

Investigations usually determine the cause, and legal actions often follow, particularly from the families of victims.
