A U.S. helicopter manufacturer said Saturday it intends to challenge a $50-million wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estate of a Quebec greenhouse magnate over a 2019 fatal crash.

David Smith, president and CEO of Robinson Helicopter Company, issued a statement that the company looks forward to discussing discrepancies over what it says caused the crash that claimed the lives of Savoura CEO Stéphane Roy and his teenage son.
