Federal aviation administration

Reference no: EM1381946

Vineyard Air, a small business with one twin engine airplane that shuttles people from Boston to Martha's Vineyard, learns from reading in the industry trade magazine that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a regulation change. Instead of requiring planes to undergo a major 48 hour maintenance and inspection process after 1000 hours of flight time, the proposed regulation will require airplanes to undergo this process after either 1000 hours of flight time or 500 flights - whichever occurs first. As Vineyard Air's typical flight is 25 minutes, the change will require them to triple their major plane overhauls. As Vineyard Air has only one plane and services a small niche market, this change could bankrupt them.

What should Vineyard Air do regarding the proposed change?
