The two tourist helicopter companies operating from Destin have announced they are limiting themselves to eastward routes along the Gulf of Mexico coastline and avoiding routes along and across the western end of Destin and the Gulf Islands National Seashore and on Okaloosa Island. The Federal Aviation Administration had been investigating complaints about Timberview Helicopter/Destin Helicopters, which operates from Destin Executive Airport, and Beach Helicopters, which operates from a landing pad just off U.S. Highway 98 a short distance west of Destin Commons.
