Owners of Gulfstream G150 planes must pay for more inspections after the FAA found a problem

The US aviation regulator is making maintenance rules stricter for Gulfstream G150 airplanes. Owners of these planes will have to perform more inspections and repairs to keep them flying.

Aviation regulators routinely update safety rules when they find new problems. This means owners of Gulfstream G150 planes will face higher operating costs to comply with the new, stricter maintenance schedule. It also means the FAA found a specific, previously unaddressed safety issue with these aircraft.
