Five of the significant changes to GTA Online in this week's update (9/29)

1) Junk Energy Skydives

A new activity is a rarity in GTA Online. Hence, it's worth talking about Sky Energy Skydives first. There are 25 specific spawn locations for this activity, but only ten will generate each day. The selected spots will be randomized.

The gist of this activity revolves around players using their parachutes to go through some checkpoints, and it ends when they aim for a drop zone. Completing all ten in a day with a Gold Medal in all of them will give gamers a $150K bonus. The whole activity is largely similar to the Skydiving and Drop Zone tutorials from Flight School.

Hangars are a great property for players who wish to modify and store their aircraft. Its primary source of income is usually not as worthwhile compared to other businesses', but this week's update makes Smuggler Sell Missions much better than they usually are.

Double cash and RP should give some GTA Online players an extra incentive to do them. Not only that, this week's update also makes Hangars and their upgrades available at 40% off.

As far as other bonuses for this week's update go, the most notable one to discuss is related to Flight School. It's a simple 2x bonus applied to cash and RP for all Flight School activities. This is not a big deal for veteran players, but gamers new to GTA Online will greatly appreciate this bonus. With it in place, they can learn how to fly aircraft and make decent money simultaneously.
