Where do all the aircraft go

The aviation industry were looking forward to another busy year at the start of 2020. 

We all know what happened only a few weeks in, but who could have foreseen the deep and far reaching consequences for the global economy and people's health ? 

 

With the sudden and abrupt halt of air travel, in a bid to help stay in business, most airliners are cutting costs and retiring several of their aircraft EARLY, as well as postponing or cancelling future orders for new aircraft 

 

Where do they go ? 

 

Their are several airplane "graveyards", the most famous being "The Boneyard" in Tuscon, Arizona. 

 

Here the aircraft are either stored, dismantled for spares or scrapped 

A very sad ending for aircraft with years of faithful service 

 

Hopefully the next blog will be more cheerful......... 

 

Stay safe
