Leicester City’s Thai Owners Sue Over Helicopter Crash

The family of late Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has filed a £2.15 billion lawsuit against Italian helicopter maker Leonardo SpA over the 2018 crash that killed Vichai and four others. The claim alleges a critical design flaw in the AW169 helicopter’s tail rotor, identified as the crash's cause in a 2023 UK investigation. Despite regulatory compliance, the family argues Leonardo failed to implement or disclose a crucial design modification that could have prevented the tragedy. Vichai’s son, Aiyawatt, called the lawsuit a step toward accountability and improved safety for global helicopter operators.
