Attorney Paul Grocki co-authored “Aircraft Liens 101,” featured in the January/February 2023 edition of Airport Business Magazine.

“A fixed-base operator (FBO) or a maintenance, repair and overhaul provider (MRO) that provides materials, fuel, and/or services (such as maintenance, hangar, tiedown, etc.) to an aircraft owner may have the legal right to assert a lien against the aircraft if the customer fails to pay for the materials or services.
