Following requests from House Transportation chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pennsylvania) and aviation subcommittee chairman Frank LoBiondo (R-New Jersey), the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is investigating the FAA’s oversight of FBOs to ascertain if they are conducting their businesses in accordance with or in violation of federal requirements. According to a GAO spokesman, the agency has been looking into issues related to the FAA and FBOs since earlier this year “with a target of next spring for completion.”
