The owner of the helicopter company at the centre of a flight that killed six tourists and a pilot in 2015 today pushed back against claims the company wasn't up to scratch at the time of the crash.

The coroner's inquest began in Christchurch today, with the aim of gleaning any safety improvements to prevent something like this happening again.
